I will say Tipu Sultan was a great man.
Tipu Sultan deserves all the respect in the world.
And what VHP/RSS(Riot Sevak Sangh)/BJP is doing is simply unacceptable.
They are opposing a man who was truly great.
He opposed the British and that was best.
Even now we read about Revolt of 1857 in schools. We are taught to accept that they were the first freedom fighters India had. But much before that there was Tipu Sultan.
He opposed the British and hence he was eliminated or killed by the British.
We can say Britain has been the enemy of Islamic societies over centuries.
It slowly but surely destroyed the Muslim Empires because it wanted to establish its own empire.
In the First World War it destroyed the Ottoman Empire and used Indian soldiers in that war.
India was under Britain under that time.
In the recent past it attacked Libya and earlier it attacked Iraq.
After Revolt of 1857 it ended the Rule of Bahadur Shah Zafar who was a 'titular head' only (as much of India was already split).
But we can say that without elimination of Tipu Sultan the concept of "United India" could not have arisen.
Hence, here lies the difference.
Do you support united India or do you support powerful Mysore State?
Because if you want Tipu Sultan to succeed then you are bellitting the efforts undertaken by the British who made all efforts to unite India.
But then you love the freedom fighters the ones which overthrew the British rule. And then you cannot but love and adore Tipu Sultan who put a tough fight to the British.
Anyway there is no reason for the BJP and RSS and VHP to oppose him. And that is they oppose him due to his religion. Hence they are extremely divisive people and should be avoided at all costs.
