Fateh Muhammad or Nadim Sahib (6 May 1684 – 9 September 1729) was an official of the Mughal Empire in Mysore region, and was the father of Mysore Sultanate founder Hyder Ali, who was his fifth child from his third wife, and the paternal grandfather of the Mysore Sultanate Ruler Tipu Sultan.[1][2]
He was born on 6 May 1684 at Doddallapur in the Bijapur Sultanate, 2 years before the Mughal Empire took control of the region during the reign of Aurangzeb. His father Ali Muhammad, a descendant of Sufi mystic Muhammad Bahlole, had come to Gulbarga and married daughter of custodian of shrine of Banda Nawaz.[3] He was killed in action at the age of 45 years, 4 months, and 3 days in a battle between Tahir Muhammad Khan, who was the Subahdar of Sira, and Jaher Khan of Chittor on 9 September 1729. He was buried at Kolar alongside his parents.
At an early age, he served as a commander of 50 men in the Rocket artillery of the army of the Nawab of Carnatic. It is believed that he served alongside Zulfiqar Ali Khan, the first Nawab of the Carnatic during the Siege of Jinji. This was maintained under the command of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb with the purpose of capturing or killing the renegade Maratha ruler Rajaram.[4] then later in 1700s he became a valuable Military Commander. Fath Muhammad eventually entered the service of the Wodeyar Rajas of the Kingdom of Mysore, where he rose to become a powerful military commander. The Wodeyars awarded him Budikote as a jagir (land grant), where he then served as Naik (Lord).[5]
