The anniversary of what can be called the “fall of Bangalore,” passed us by on March 21. The last stand by Tipu Sultan’s forces at the Bangalore Fort ended At 11 pm on March 21, 1791

 

The only public marker of that date is inscribed on a plaque embedded into a stone wall in a bustling part of the old city adjoining the Victoria Hospital, well above eye level, rendering it effectively invisible to the crowds that surge impatiently past it. “Through this breach,” reads the plaque on the Delhi Gate, the north-eastern entrance into, and the last vestige of, the erstwhile Bangalore Fort, “the British assault was delivered – March 21, 1791”.
