Excerpt: The political history from 1565 to 1760 of the contiguous historical regions of Mysore state and Coorg province, both located on the Deccan Plateau in west-central peninsular India (Map 1), involves events occurring since the fall of the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire in 1565 until just before the rise of Sultan Haidar Ali in 1761. During the height of the Vijayanagara Empire (1350-1565), the Mysore and Coorg region was ruled by motley chieftains, or rajas ("little kings"), each having dominion over a small area, and each supplying soldiers and annual tribute for the empire's needs. Soon after the empire's fall and the subsequent eastward move of the diminished ruling family, many chieftains, especially in the west, tried to loosen their imperial bonds and expand their realms. Sensing opportunity amidst the new uncertainty, various powers from the north, the Sultanate of Bijapur to the northwest, the Sultanate of Golconda to the northeast, the fledgling Maratha empire, farther northwest, and the Mughal empire, farther north still, invaded the region intermittently. For much of the 17th century the tussles between the little kings and the big powers, and amongst the little kings themselves, resulted in shifting sovereignties, loyalties, and borders. By the turn of the 18th...
