History

When the Jacobin Club of Mysore sent a delegation to Tipu Sultan, 500

Mysore rockets
were launched as part of the gun salute.

Francis Ripauld was elected President-Citizen, and the Jacobins declared their hatred for all kings except Citizen Tipu[2] and loyalty to the Republic.[3]

The British regarded the link-up of Revolutionary Jacobin forces and Indian resistance as an extremely dangerous development. In the subsequent Fourth Anglo-Mysore war in 1799 against Tipu, the British forced the surrender of French military personnel in Hyderabad, citing their "most virulent principles of Jacobinism."[4]

In a 2005 paper, historian Jean Boutier argued that the club's existence was fabricated by the East India Company to justify British military intervention against Tipu.[5]
