Work on a memorial for Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan was inaugurated by the Minister for Power, Natham R. Viswanathan, here on Saturday.

The announcement on construction of a memorial for Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan, who valiantly fought the British, was made by the Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, in the Assembly in May 2013. The memorial will be constructed at the junction of Treasury Road and Gandhi New Road here at a cost of Rs. 1.3 crore.

Soon after the announcement in 2013, the district administration identified three sites — near Begampur mosque at Yanaitheppam in Dindigul; Agaram village on National Highway 7 near Thadikombu; and Kodangipatti Pudur near Seevalsaragu — for the memorial.

The site could not be finalised following protest from local residents.

After that Big Mosque Jamaath Council agreed to offer one acre of land under the control of Walf Board (under survey T.SNo.828/4 in Adiyanuthu village) near Aranmanaikulam, the site was chosen for the construction of the memorial.

The structure will come up over an area of 200 square metres.

The hillock, which resembles a ‘dhindu’ (pillow), gave the name to the town, Dindigul. The construction of a fort in the hillock was started by Muthukrishna Naicker of Madurai in 1605 and completed by Tirumalai Naicker in 1659. Hyder Ali, along with his wife and five-year-old son Tipu Sultan, visited the fort in 1755. From 1784 to 1790, the fort was under the rule of Tipu Sultan.

In 1784, Tipu’s commandant Syed Ibrahim constructed many rooms in the fort and strengthened its walls. After the defeat of Tipu in 1790 in the Mysore war, the fort changed hands and was under the control of the British.

Hyder Ali, during his rule over Dindigul, constructed three mosques — one for his namaaz, the second for his soldiers underneath the fort and the third in the present Begampur.

It will be constructed at the junction of Treasury Road and Gandhi New Road here at a cost of Rs. 1.3 crore

Aslong as you mind your own business does it matter

This is part of muslim history in the sub including indian muslim history

So in a alleged secular republic you can look up to your heros and indian muslims can look up to great muslim emperors and warriors

What an Irony,it were Indian soldiers (British native Infantry) who killed Tipu mercilessly and left his mutilated body beyond recognition ordered by Brit commanders who wanted to teach Tipu a lesson for killing and christian officers.

A Pakistani should mind their own business in their own nation.
This is none of your business .

Tipu and Ali were South Indians.
And Indian Muslims dont need your certificate.They are Indians.

Now dont quote me again.

Disgusting.

This is what Portuguese missionary Fr. Bartholomew in his eyewitness account recorded in his ‘Voyage to East Indies’ illustrated the dark side of Tipu’s fanaticism during the raid of Calicut,

“Most of the women and children were hanged in Calicut, first mothers were hanged and their children tied to necks of mothers. That barbarian Tipu Sultan tied the naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of Elephants and made the elephants to move around till the bodies of the helpless victims were torn to pieces”

To build a memorial to this barbarian is an Insult to the people of India.

"Tipu Sultan's treasurer was Krishna Rao, Shamaiya Iyengar was his Minister of Post and Police, his brother Ranga Iyengar was also an officer, and Purnaiya held the very important post of "Mir Asaf". Moolchand and Sujan Rai were his chief agents at the Mughal court, and his chief "Peshkar", Suba Rao, was also a Hindu.[62] Editor of Mysore Gazettes Srikantaiah has listed 156 temples to which Tipu regularly paid annual grants. There is such evidence as grant deeds, and correspondence between his court and temples, and his having donated jewellery and deeded land grants to several temples, which some claim he was compelled to do to make alliances with Hindu rulers. Between 1782 and 1799 Tipu Sultan issued 34 "Sanads" (deeds) of endowment to temples in his domain, while also presenting many of them with gifts of silver and gold plate. The Srikanteswara Temple in Nanjangud still possesses a jewelled cup presented by the Sultan.[63] He also gave a greenish linga; to Ranganatha temple at Srirangapatna he donated seven silver cups and a silver camphor burner. This temple was hardly a stone's throw from his palace from where he would listen with equal respect to the ringing of temple bells and the muezzin's call from the mosque;[64] to the Lakshmikanta Temple at Kalale he gifted four cups, a plate andSpitoon in silver.[65][66]" - Wikipedia/Tipu_Sultan

He was a coward who bartered away his own children to extend his rule over his kingdom. He died a dogs death, with no honour, leaving only a legacy of hate and bigotry.
