Sikandar Adil Shah vs Sri Vikrama Rajasinha

Sikandar Adil Shah became sultan of Bijapur at a young age after the death of his father Ali Adil Shah II. His reign was marked by internal factionalism and the growing threat of Mughal expansion under Aurangzeb.

Aurangzeb's Mughal army besieged Bijapur fort for over a year. The siege ended with the surrender of Sikandar Adil Shah, leading to the annexation of the Bijapur Sultanate into the Mughal Empire.

After the fall of Bijapur, Sikandar Adil Shah was captured and imprisoned by Aurangzeb. He was held in captivity until his death, ending the Adil Shahi dynasty's rule over the Deccan.

Sri Vikrama Rajasinha became the last king of the Kandyan Kingdom at age 18, succeeding his uncle Rajadhi Rajasinha. His reign was marked by internal factionalism and growing British influence in the coastal regions of Ceylon.

Sri Vikrama Rajasinha executed his chief minister Pilimatalawe, who had conspired with the British. This act intensified internal dissent and alienated powerful Kandyan nobles, weakening the kingdom's unity.

British forces invaded the Kandyan Kingdom in January 1815. Sri Vikrama Rajasinha's army was defeated due to internal betrayal by Kandyan nobles who signed the Kandyan Convention with the British, ending the kingdom's independence.

Sri Vikrama Rajasinha was deposed by the British and exiled to Vellore, India, along with his family. This marked the end of the Nayakkar dynasty and the Kandyan Kingdom, as Ceylon became a unified British colony.
