KHUDADAD was the new name of the Kingdom of Tipu Sultan , Padshah of Khudadad which was consists of basic Mysore Sate with the conquered neighbour states by Hyder Ali & Tipu Sultan. H.M. Fath 'Ali Khan Tipu Sultan Padshah Bahadur ruled the Khudadad State as 'Padshah of Khudadad' under his name from 1782 to 1799, Seringapatnam was the capital of Khudadad Kingdom. Granted the titles of Nasib ud-Daula, Fath 'Ali Khan Bahadur, and Nawab, by the Nizam of Hyderabad, in 1767. Granted the title of Wala Qadr, by his father. He was a radical as well as secular Muslim empire who established in a large part of South India.
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 truly Islamic, due to its de facto submission 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.
