Who is Noor Inayat Khan and why do the British want her face on their money?

[Foxtrot Delta]

Im an internationalist too yet i hold a pakistani passport and kashmiri id card.

No, it doesn't.

Her roots were cosmopolitan.

Her ancestor, Tipu Sultan, was an internationalist. Please read my thread about him from late 2015.

Im an internationalist too

Fantastic !!

Nice to find another one on a website devoted to nationalistic fights.

Spot on! Indians doesn't recognize her great grand father to be their heroic figure and are after erasing any and all things attributed to the tiger of mysore.

Tipu was born in a village named Devanahalli near Bangalore. But sadly, the Bangalore International Airport wasn't named after him.

In the end everyone will be an internationalist. Thats the only way.

Fantastic !!

Bro these philosophical identities are subjective to any person but her balochi lineage is an objective fact . No doubt tipu was bright, liberal and bold who stood up for his peoples honor and integrity.

As @Jf Thunder alluded to, her great-great-great-grandfather was Tipu Sultan, that very same Tiger of Mysore.

There's a book about her written by an Indian lady, Shrabani Basu. The book is named "Spy Princess".

And watch this vid.

the only thing I liked about her was that she was damn pretty, and sounded like a feminist
YAY !!!!

Well, I would prefer a humanist rather than a feminist.

But yes, she seems to have had an independent personality.

It is not clear where Tipu's father's ancestors were. From the wiki entry about him :

The exact date of Hyder Ali's birth is not known with certainty. Various historical sources provide dates ranging between 1717 and 1722 for his birth.[4] There are also some variations in reports of his ancestry. According to some accounts, his grandfather was descended from a line of Sayyids tracing their lineage back to Persia,[5] while another traces his lineage instead to the area of present-day Afghanistan.[5] In a third account, written by one of his French military officers, Hyder himself claimed descent from the Bani Hashim Clan of Quraysh tribe ofArabs, the tribe of Muhammad through his ancestor Sayyid walSharif Hassan bin Yahya who was the Sherif of Makkah.[6] His father, Fath Muhammad, was born inKolar, and served as a commander of 50 men in the bamboo rocket artillery (mainly used for signalling) in the army of the Nawab of Carnatic.[7] 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).[4] Hyder Ali was born in Budikote; he was Fath Muhammad's fifth child, and the second by his third wife.[4] His early years are not well documented; he entered military service along with his brother Shahbaz after their father died in combat.[8] After serving for a number of years under the rulers of Arcot, they came to Seringapatam, where Hyder's uncle served. He introduced them to Devaraja, the dalwai (chief minister, military leader, and virtual ruler) of Krishnaraja Wodeyar II, and his brother Nanjaraja, who also held important ministerial posts.[9] Hyder and his brother were both given commands in the Mysorean army; Hyder served under Shahbaz, commanding 100 cavalry and 2,000 infantry

But it doesn't matter. As I said earlier, Tipu was an internationalist.

Ah, thanks for that. I also found out that she has Pashtun heritage from her father (according to Indian-run Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inayat_Khan "He was born in Vadodara, Gujarat, to a noble family, as on his paternal side (made of mystics and poets) he descended from Pashtuns of Afghanistan initially settled in Sialkot, Punjab).

Both sides can claim her, then.

The below is copied from that wiki entry and I believe that even agnostics and atheists will have no objection to this :

Foundational principles[edit]
Inayat Khan set forth ten principles that formed the foundational principles of his Universal Sufism:[17]

1. There is one God; the Eternal, the Only Being; None exists save He.
2. There is one master; the guiding spirit of all souls that constantly leads all followers toward the light.
3. There is one holy book; the sacred manuscript of nature, the only Scripture that can enlighten the reader.
4. There is one religion; unswerving progress in the right direction toward the Ideal, which fulfills every soul's life purpose.
5. There is one law; the law of reciprocity, which can be observed by a selfless conscience, together with a sense of awakened justice.
6. There is one brotherhood; the human brotherhood which unites the children of earth indiscriminately in the fatherhood of God. This was later adapted by followers to; "There is one Family, the Human Family, which unites the Children of Earth indiscriminately in the Parenthood of God."
7. There is one moral; the love which springs forth from self-denial and blooms in deeds of beneficence. ... (later alternative; "which springs forth from a willing heart, surrendered in service to God and Humanity, and which blooms in deeds of beneficence").
8. There is one object of praise; the beauty which uplifts the heart of its worshipper through all aspects from the seen to the unseen.
9. There is one truth; true knowledge of our being, within and without, which is the essence of Wisdom.
10. There is one path; annihilation of the false ego in the real (later alternative; "the effacement of the limited self in the Unlimited"), which raises the mortal to immortality, in which resides all perfection.
