Tipu's father Hyder Ali was defeated several times by the Kodavas.
To avenge the defeat, Tipu repeatedly attacked the Kodagu (Madikeri) region. Kodavas are another name for bravery and more than 30 times Tipu's army was defeated by the brave Kodavas.

"Kodavas had great expertise in guerilla warfare!"
Every time he got defeated, Tipu's anger increased. He destroyed temples, changed village names to Persian, forcibly converted people.
Finally Tipu planned to destroy Kodavas completely!

We are friends, our common enemy is British!
Tipu extended friendship to Kodavas. To save temples from continued attack, to end forced conversions, Kodavas wanted to end the war.
Innocent Kodavas accepted the hand of friendship without any doubts!
