Tipu Sultan's Mysore

[Bang Galore]

You guys really know how to chat crap, Oh pathetic fools had tipu realy wanted to convert people by the sword not single hindu would have been left in the mysore state, collectively muslims ruled india for over 8 hundred years had they wished it would have all been muslim, but such spread is not allowed by islam , its more common for dumbass faiths that have no logic to do such things wherease islam had the most beautiful wisdom hence why, its allways been and is the fastest growing faith in the world. Secondly Our faith forbids us to spread by the sword " Let there be no compulsion in religion " "2:256 al quran. Now show me something similar from the bible to say its forbidden for you or for hindus or for sikhs, then well talk. Christianity on the other hand is remebered for killing millions across the south americas and the spanish inquisition which christians themselves write upon.

I don't know about dumbass faiths but I'm sure the rest of us can all spot a dumbass when we see one. I don't want to join you in turning this thread to a religious flame one, so I am going to pass on your assertions of the completely peaceful spread of Islam. As for your question on whether Hindus say something similar, I can only sympathise with your ignorance. Hinduism is a non proselytising faith and does not claim to be the only path to God, something that is probably alien to your way of thinking.

As far as the subject of Tipu Sultan is concerned, I second those who have said that there is a dichotomy in the manner he is thought of in the areas of the old Mysore state & how he is remembered in South Canara & Kerala. However, overall he is remembered as a great hero in India for his spirited opposition to the British. Most people have multiple facets to them and I am sure Tipu Sultan was no different. How you remember a historical figure depend on the which side of history you end up being on.

Tipu Sultan is someone we all can be proud of without any Issue.

So are Shivaji Maharaj (Britishers always stayed away when he was around), Maharana Pratap, Mangal Pandey, Rani Laxmibai. who fought britishers like a lioness, and Tatya Tope.

Did you watched the Bhagat Singh Thread they called him terrorist. They admire Tipu because of religion. About Gandhi he is greatest although it takes brains to understand him.

Very true and it takes a lot more to understand him
