The Treaty of Srirangapatna was signed in 1792 after the Third Anglo-Mysore War between Tipu Sultan and Lord Cornwallis, the British Governor-General of India. This treaty marked a humiliating defeat for Tipu, forcing him to surrender half his territories and pay a large indemnity. Robert Clive was active earlier (1750s), Dalhousie much later (1840s-1850s), and Warren Hastings was Cornwallis's predecessor.
