Tipu would have enjoyed status of Shivaji if he was a Hindu: Karnad

[hussain0216]

Absolutely if Tipu was a hindu he would be exalted and celebrated

This is the normal sanghi hindutva propaganda, B.S made up stories of shivaji being some sort of saint who looked after puppies and children and farted rainbows

Aurengzeb, Tipu etc these are the men that could have defended the sub continent unlike the surrender-fest the Marathas did infront of the British

 

[Hindustani78]

Tippu is not shivaji, tippu was a tyrant, and he was a religious bigot unlike shivaji who looked upon everyone as equal, shivajis artillery commander was a Muslim and a maratha, unlike tippu who never encouraged local language and culture, he encouraged Persian, and many people did not like it, even local Muslims, he was forgotten until a serial called the "sword of tippu sultan" was telecast in DD produced by sanjay khan, and vijay mallya bought his sword from sothbys in england, tippu was as dark as charcoal, unlike he was portrayed in the serial and what is his contributions in the improvement in the life of the people who lived under him, he was just a war monger, and a bad administrator.

Just cant understand till which time we Indians will fight on these issue.

30% of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj soldiers were Muslims and it was something the same with Tipu Sultan Military.

Mysore Kingdom
Under Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan (1761–1799)

Hyder Ali ruled Mysore (though he did not have the title of king).

Tipu Reign 29 December 1782 – 4 May 1799.

He ruled just for 19 years .


Under British Rule - (1799–1831).


In 1771 Maratha envoys had approached Hyder with a proposal to unite against the British, with the goal of wresting control of eastern India from their influence.


First Anglo-Maratha War (1775–1782) was the first of three Anglo-Maratha wars fought between the British East India Company and Maratha Empire in India.

Second Anglo–Mysore War (1780–1784)

The Marathas, still at war with the British, renewed an offer of alliance in 1779. In this case, the alliance was to include the nizam


Maharaja Mahadaji Shinde died from typhoid fever, at his camp at Wanavdi near Pune on 12 February 1794.

If Mahadaji Shinde would have been alive , then India would be more bigger and United.

They fight on these issues because Tipu was a muslim

They cowered infront of the likes of Babur, Akbar, Tamerlane and Tipu in history and now centuries later they do the sanghi-hindutva lungi war dance denouncing them and exalting hindu rulers

I want to know the source from where you learnt that.

 

[Mike_Brando]

Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of India.

And you are the fcuker of India

 

[Hindustani78]

He fought British to save his empire not India , he sided with French who were as colonial as British & not to forget his letters to afghans & Napoleon where he ask them to attack India & then share 50% of land & wealth with them so much for desh bhakti forget his religious bigitory where he openly acknowledge in his own letter written by him how he converted 400000 Hindus & Christians

I think , it was the British and French wars which let Indian kings to fight with each other.

And you are the fcuker of India

Easy . its an International forum .

Indians are good at bed , we are a strong nation.

No one had objection if tippu jayanthi is celebrated, from any one who likes him, it was hapenning like this before, but the problem is when govt is involved in the celebration, purposefully celebrating on deepavali even though he was born on 20th nov.

Tippu was hell bent on defending his country, he made pacts with French east India company, he invited Ahmad shah abdali, and nepolean to attack India, he killed thousands of Hindus and converted over 400000 Hindus and Christians, the worst affected were kodavas he destroyed town after town.

That is not true.

 

[Hindustani78]

Instead of this, all Indians should focus on Permanent Seat at UNSC .

Paris summit is going to take place in December .

[Stag112]

Here is a difference I want to highlight.

Hindus do celebrate muslim rulers who were enlightened and good rulers. People like Akbar or razia sultana for example. And obviously many hindus do celebrate even muslim controversial rulers like tipu and orangzeb (hence the controvercy).

But muslims, of the pakistani kind (mentally) however not only want to celebrate only muslim rulers, they only seek out muslim rulers who were intolerant and mass murderers and idol breakers (like timur, ghori, ghaznavi, abdali, orangzeb, tipu etc) and they actually ignore benevolent muslim rulers, like Akbar.

This extremely hateful nature of some muslims is the main reason of the religious mess in south asia.

 

[Indian Patriot]

tipu was a jihadi

He was an able ruler who fought against British.

 

[Indian Patriot]

So what every ruler will fight another ruler to save his empire

Except for the rajputs and other rulers who submitted before every foreign invader.

Tipu did not cave in to british pressure, the British had to fight the hardest against Tipu Sultan. And guess who sided with the british invaders?

 

[Indian Patriot]

Guess who sided with the French ,guess who wrote article to Napoleon & afghans to attack India & share 50% of land & wealth

Tipu considered the French as the lesser of the two evils just like bose considered nazis and imperial japanese as lesser of two evils in WW2.

rana sanga also invaded Babur to attack India. Why don't you discuss that?
