Khudadad was the name of the radical Muslim empire established in a large part of India by Tipu Sultan, the son of Hyder Ali, based in the -usurped- former Hindu princely state of Mysore, which intended to unseat the Mughal empire which it considered weak and no longer truely Islamic, due to its de facto submissioon to the British Paramountcy.
The ruler adopted the novel title Pashah Bahadur, which means he claimed to be one rank above the Mughal Padshah-i-Hind. However since Tipu, its only ruler, chose the side of the French against the victorious British, his empire was dismantled, and the territories largely restored to Hindu rulers (as in Mysore itself). However the British showed respect for his military valor by granting his dynasty the 'golden cage' status of Political Pensioners.
