DID YOU KNOW ?
Contribution of #Mysore Empire - #Thread.

Brithishers knew about #KGF (Kolar Gold Field). In the year 1802, John Warner learned about the presence of gold and demarked the area, allowing him to export a small amount of gold.

From 1881 through 1946, John Taylor & Company exported 10,000 kg of gold to the United Kingdom each year. That's almost 6,50,000 kg of gold from #Mysore State, which is now #Karnataka. Even at that time, #Karnataka was the largest tax-paying state.

Britishers robbed the whole wealth of Mysore State during the 4th Anglo Mysore War in 1799. Due to a lack of money, work on the Mysore Palace was halted for four years. Even Dussehra was not celebrated between 1800 and 1804.

The Maharajas of Mysore began developing their empire from the ground up in 1804 and by 1910, Mysore Maharaja was the world's 7th richest person.

Immadi Pulikeshi (Ruler of Badami) helped Iran King Khurso II economically since Iran was bankrupt which is approximately around 1500 years back.

King Avandana Krishna I (757–773) of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty of Karnataka built Ajanta Ellora. People refer to these caverns as Alien Works, which is ironic.

Mughals came for the treasure, Britishers came for the wealth, and Congress plundered us for seven decades, but we are still as strong as we were.
