Mir Sadiq


Mir Sadiq or Gudu Khan held the post of a minister in the cabinet of Tipu Sultan of Mysore. In the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1798–99, he allegedly betrayed Tipu Sultan during the Siege of Srirangapatana, paving the way for a British victory. Gudu was killed by some of the dismayed Mysorean troops immediately following the defeat as he attempted to go over to welcome the British.
According to Muhammad Iqbal, “Mir Jafar and Mir Sdiq were a disgrace to faith, a disgrace to humanity, and a disgrace to the motherland, who were instrumental in the defeat and death of Nawab Siraj-Ud-Daulah of Bengal and Tipu Sultan of Mysore respectively by betraying them for the benefit of the British”.
