lol,
Ignorance at its best , why don't you Pakistanis read full context, rather opt for handpicking the incidents to choose your propaganda,
the attack on temple of srirangapatnam,
Although the regular troops did not attack the
math(temple), the
pindari (muslim non combatants) who did not act with ‘any check or control’ did. The Maratha polity was anguished over the act and efforts were on to compensate and appease the Swami for nearly a year after. In 1791, Tipu seemed to have changed his approach to temples and Brahmins when faced with an all round attack. Due to past excesses, Tipu’s
vakeels were denied an audience by the Maratha chiefs in the run up to the siege of Srirangapatnam. The Maratha letter writers remark on Tipu’s acts as they were uncharacterisitic of him.
Here are the Marathas today, lol
Handpicked? The pindari did this without instruction or involvement of Hindu masters?
1) Pindaris, as the English soldiers eye-witnessed at many places during this war, operated upon the orders of Maratha chieftains. They would be let loose on those towns whose residents refused to pay them ransom.
2) The Maratha cavalry was under the command of various chieftains. While most took direct orders from Bhau, some chieftains bypassed him and acted upon the war plans of the Peshwa council that accompanied Bhau.
Either way, the Pindaris or the cavalry could not have acted without knowledge or participation of their hindu masters.
"Summarized below is a sequence of events that lists, in chronological order, twenty-six such places affected by Maratha soldiers’ brutalities, as witnessed by contemporary sources.
1790
Aug. 6: Maratha General Parshuram Bhau approaches Gokak to invade Karnataka (present day Mysore Kingdom) with a detachment of East India Company’s Bombay Army commanded by Captain Little. Marathas have upward of 10,000 fighting men including 5,000 Pindaris marauders.
Sep.10: Betgeri villagers, north of Dharwar town, beats back Bhau’s Pindari marauders. Bhau sends his Rohilla Gardee troops who plunder the village without mercy and capture many villagers.
Sep. 14: Bhau’s army swells to a cavalry of 15,000 and an infantry of 3,000. Armies camps at Narendra village a few km north of Dharwar. English soldier David Price witnesses burning of a village by Maratha soldiers at night.
Sep. 15: Hubbali Town surrenders to Bhau after paying him protection money. Town and its inhabitants not harmed. Maratha and English armies start their attacks on Dharwar.
Dec. 13: Bhau’s eldest son Appa Saheb enters Dharwar town, as its defenses crumble. His troops start setting afire to the town at various places.
Dec. 18: Bhau’s men get complete control of the Dharwar town and plundered it ‘so completely that not a piece of wood was left standing‘.
1791
Apr. 04: Badruzzaman Khan, Qilledar of Dharwar, surrenders the fort after a siege of six months. Several small towns and villages in vicinity razed to the ground by the Maratha soldiers.
Between Apr. 04 to Jul. 06: Maratha cavalry led by Raghunath Rao, brother of Parshuram Bhau pillage Sringeri.
May 20: Captain Little’s detachment joins the route taken by Bhau’s army to Srirangapatna, near the town of Harihar. English soldier Moor wrote ‘The route of the army is marked by rain and devastation; every village and town being burned and razed with the ground…In the distance of ten miles, perhaps, as many villages destroyed will be seen, without an inhabitant to tell their names: such is the havoc this destructive army has caused in this fair country.’
May 27: Chikkanayakanahalli (present day Tumakuru District). Maratha soldiers always pick up fights with village heads and inhabitants. They take away things from the Kannadiga villagers without paying.
May 29: Maratha soldiers sell grains and commodities looted from Kannadiga villagers during their march from Dharwar to Srirangapatna, at exorbitant prices to desperate soldiers of Cornwallis’s army.
Attacks on towns, villages, and agricultural lands, mostly dominated by Hindus, after the pillage of Sringeri
Jul. 8: After marching up from Melukote near Srirangapatna, Bhau and Captain Little march north-west from Bangalore intending to take Sira.
Jul. 13: Hindu holy town of Devarayanadurga, in present day Tumakuru District, is taken by assault. Looted and burnt by Maratha soldiers.
Jul. mid: Sira fort is the base of Parshuram Bhau’s solders. They raid nearby villages. Buchanan, who visited the place about a decade later, found all the villages around the town plundered. Bhau’s soldiers attack Mooka Nayakanahalli Kote (MN Kote) village (in today’s Tumakuru District). On failing to capture and loot the town, they abduct young Kannadiga girls (11).
Jul. mid: Bhau marches to the hill fort of Ratnagiri situated today along the Karnataka – Andhra Pradesh interstate border. Buchanan travelled along the same path a decade later and witnessed a scene of devastation due to Bhau’s soldiers from which it had yet to recover. Buchanan also wrote about similar scenes of destruction at the neighbouring Badavanahally village in Madhugiri Taluk of Tumakuru District.
Jul. end: Maratha and British soldiers approach the prosperous town of Hiriyur. The people of town pay a considerable sum of money to Bhau, who promised it protection from his Pindaris. Yet, the town is looted by marauders of one of the Maratha chiefs.
Aug.: Bhau camps in the vicinity of Chitradurga through much of August while his cavalry goes around for forage and his marauders plunder Kannadiga villages. Around the same time, Captain Little’s detachment leaves for the British hospital set up at Harihar town. A detachment of Maratha troops under Raghunath Rao and Bala Saheb rides north-west and captures Rayadurgam. Rao ensures his troops do not loot towns and villages, unlike Sringeri. Both stay back to capture Molakalmuru the month after.
Aug. 12: Bhau’s soldiers take the village of Talaku, Chitradurga District by assault. Loot and burn it."
That's a lot of looting by pindaris without any knowledge of Hindu masters. Gosh. Makes one wonder what the hindu masters were doing if their pindari detachment alone did all that.
That list is incomplete btw. It gets boring and repetitive reading about Hindu-Hindu violence.
You can stop being a tool now.
