Workers dig up Tipu era cannon weighing more than a ton during Metro work

still the same Taj Mahal is a soruce of big incom for you.

Seriously, the cost of maintaining that monument itself runs into crores. forget the last 350 years these 'tourist income' won't return the cost of building it, even for the next 1000 yrs.
Not to forget that king's stupidity of decorating the walls with gems and rubies which must be in British museums now!

correction: tippu was not king. technically he was a delinquent employee of mysore state.

he was a conquerer and a great Muslim leader.....
In your history he may be "made to look like" insignificant...on purpose.

Tipu Sultan is my childhood hero! When i was a kid there was only one Bangladeshi channel, it used to telecast a drama Tipu Sultan! I was big fan!!!

Muslim ruled india was a truly great civilization. Just look at the Taj Mahal! I hope india one day will return to that greatness.

The Ming Dynasty also did a great job in China for 276 years from 1368 to 1644.

Would you want it to return or would you like to move on in life ?

The issue is when his grand grand grand daughter was decorated with an award recently for being spy against Nazis, it was non other than likes of you from India who termed the daughter of Tipu Sultan the invader as Indian

Not like that. In our history, he is potrayed as a freedom fighter. he is celebrated in a great way. i studied history like that.
but i liked hyder ali more than tipu anyway.

he is obviously wrong. Tipu is celebrated in india. Thats the truth, even if some thinks otherwise.

And who said Tipu was not Indian. Not all people have to like him though. He is considered a hero in most states.

tipu sultan, was good or bad is not the question. his cannon was found and will be preserved in a museum.. unlike the destruction of the bamiyan buddha by the pashtuns.

yes ofcourse we consider him as an invader ,we cannot change it for Noor Inayat Khan's achievements,i said as an Keralite from malabar region ,for me the real hero's are those locals who resisted and defeated him...

 

[kam83]

this how we respect our culture ....be it a Tipu sultan or Akbar or Rani Laxmibai or Veer Shivaji Maharaj or be it Chandragupt ...Religion is not a criteria for your greatness...its your deed that counts.we don't change our history according to our need like some other nation do

This Nation History is like a great saga .......which never Ends...I love my India

Actually he is correct. Keralites hate the guts out of Tipu for his atrocities in Malabar.
