Well.History should be viewed with a pinch of salt and Tip's tyranny or braveness both has takers. It is well knows that Tipu was intolerant and killed people mercilessly. Point in being he killed 800 people belonging to Iyengar priests clan on diwali day in temple town Melkote because they are the friends and relatives of the ministers of Mysore wodeyar. Till now Diwali is not celebrated in this town. Whats the point in celebrating such king with a 'jayanti" sponsored by state government? That too on diwali day?  It is well known that he mercilessly converted HIndus and Christians of Kerala, but now he is regarded as secular king? If you want to celebrate some muslim  perosnalities, why not some sufi saints or Kalam? 

from what i know uderbestfriend is not a sanghi....

Sanghi logic: Day of observance about patriotism, let's talk about tyranny.

He was the king and he had to fight to save his territory. Where is patriotism in here? Most kings did that . A patriotic person wont kill people from his territory for fun like he did.

Sanghi logic: Ally with British and fight Indians - Patriot

Fight against the British - Traitor

You people are just the other side of coin. If Sanghi's oppose something then I must have to support that. This is the reason sympathy for Modi was created , by attacking them for each and every point you create sympathy or more support for them . Keep it up .As long as people are you in India RSS , Sanghi's will always have support

Google Karnad and Bhyrappa to know more about what some real "Indian" historians say about Tipu. SL Bhyrappa who is mostly apolitical has been painted as a Sanghi by these communist influenced Congi favored writers. No wonder Karnad got Jnanapeeth award and SL Bhyrappa , altho being senior and more popular has been sidelined by Sahitya academy. Aavarana written by SL Bhyrappa which has been well researched paints the tyranny of muslim invaders and psuedo patriots like Tipu. Always trust regional writers, historians on Indian history than some western one who always will have yesmen advisors.

Thank you! It's stupid to look at medieval kings through a modern prism. That is something I've been consistently posting about whenever the Sanghis choose to do so. Tipu like any other medieval King was patriotic to his own kingdom - Hindu or Muslim. To portray Shivaji and Tipu as some patriots is nuts, as is this decision by KA govt.
