Tipu was alone many a time when he fought the British. The Marathas / Peshwas sided with the British along with the Nizam and Nawab of Arcot. So, as per history, the Marathas were not patriotic at all. If Tipu converted everybody, then how come his capital was still named Sri Rangapatna? How come his chief minister was not from his religion? How come the majority were not his religion. Why did he donate to the Nanjangud temple and Sringeri? All these are available on record. The letters are on record too.Shame on the BJP for doubting Tipu. If you have to doubt anybody, it should be the Marathas and Peshwas who sided with the British against Tipu.

What patriotism is that? Who is he fighting for? If he just targeted British it was one thing. But why did he butchered Indians?

......if britishers had not attacked and defeated the Tyrant jihadi Tipu , .....entire karnataka would have been a muslim majority failed state with jihadis doing bomb blasts every other day like pukistan.............and Siddharamaiah would now be wearing topi and named Samiullah and saluting saudi as their slave.
Indeed Tipu death day should be celebrated as Tipu vadh Divas
there should be a campaign to bring out the truth of these so called secular parties. infact they have survived this far only by playing communal card.... scaring the minorities that they are under threat and showing pseudo protection and gain votes. congress should be wiped off india. it should be taught a very tough lesson.
if congress wants to survive then all its cadres should quit playing minority card once for all ...no divide and rule policy....else why only tipu sultan ? ...what about jhansi lakshmibai or tantya tope ....we dont celebrate their jayanthis....
congress is unecessarily rubbing the majority on the wrong side...always...and now it started paying the price... sooner it realizes better it is for its survival...
