So accepting bitter historical truths and learning constructive lessons from them will always help avoid repeating such brutal history. The barbarian Tipu Sultan tied naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of elephants and made the elephants move around till the bodies of the helpless victims were torn to pieces. But this plan was not executed however, till the end of 1798 Tipu was in touch with Napoleon Bonaparte. Tipu introduced a new calendar, new coinage, and seven new government departments, during his reign, and made military innovations in the use of rocketry. So this was Tipu Sultan’s letter to the Afghan king named Zaman Shah, written sometime in 1794/95. Tipu Sultan wrote a letter to which government to help him against British Army rule in India? In the same letter, as well as another to John Jay on 23 May 1788, he wrote how France was expecting Tipu’s Embassy (9). Background Tipu Sultan was born on 10 November 1750 at Devanahalli, in present-day Bangalore Rural district, about 33 km (21 mi) north of Bangalore city. Medieval and 3. So what happened to the study of Indian history from then on till now? I am now determined to march against the accursed Raman Nayar.” Now its important to remember that Raman Nair was the chieftain of a relatively small kingdom, a bunch of principalities. The first major military engagement of Afghans in India was when Shah Waliullah, a Muslim reformist, after being shrugged by other Muslim nobles and Mughal princes to help him implement his reformist agenda wrote a letter to the founder and ruler of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Durrani, to invade and stop the growing influence of ‘infidels’—Jats, Marathas and Sikhs. So this same Rahman Khan, has also taken a DPS School, Delhi Public School franchise in Bangalore. So this was Tipu Sultan’s letter to the Afghan king named Zaman Shah, written sometime in 1794/95. So I’ll repeat that, “The first lesson of politics is to forget the first lesson of history”. One of his letters to an army commander in Calicut on 14th December 1788 says- “I am sending two of my followers with Mir Hussain Ali. So a honest history from that perspective must lead to 2 things. The history of Tipu Sultan too, stands as a glaring instance of this distorted historical narrative. He was also a scholar, soldier and poet.Tipu was the eldest son of Sultan Hyder Ali of Mysore and his wife Fatima Fakhr-un-Nisa. The British marshaled support from the Nizam and the Marathas and as a final ploy delivered the Caliph’s (Sultan Selim’s) letter imploring Tipu not to fight the British. You might punch each other in the face? Real history on the other hand, teaches us that the major part of India lost independence about 5 centuries before, and merely changed masters in the 18th century.” Most of you know, are aware of who said this, this was by Acharya RC Majumdar, one of the titans of historical scholarship and he wrote this, and he says recent politics, he was referring to 1948. With that I think I can conclude this part of the session and many thanks to Srijan Foundation and the entire team. Tipu Sultan in the Kingdom of Mysore in India’s southern region, so Mysore emerged as one of the centres and a symbol of resistance against European colonial and imperial project. I have listed only about 56 in my book, just the major ones that were destroyed. So, I’ll give you a partial list. The coins of Tipu Sultan, a topic of discussion by itself were the most impressive in calligraphy, method of manufacture as well as precious metal content among all the contemporary Indian rulers of the time, including the Mughal monarch at Delhi. This is evident from the numerous secret letters of his, in Persian and their replies thereto which were captured in original at Srirangapatna in May 1799 by the British and safely preserved at India Library in U.K. In these letters sent through his emissaries with costly gifts, Tipu had invited King Zaman Shah of Afghanistan , Fateh Ali Khan of Persia, Caliph of Turkey and ruler of Iran to join forces and invade North India for which he had promised full cooperation. I am greatly determined to convert them very soon. Delhi, the seat of government of the Muhammadan faith, has been reduced to this state of ruin, so that the infidels all together prevail now. As a result, any attempts to correct this course has been virulently opposed with the result that most urban-educated Indians have now internalized a politically correct version of Indian history. Tipu Sultan brought his army of more than 100,000 men west and managed to approach within 4 miles (6.4 km) of Bednore undetected by 9 April. ©2000-2021 ITHAKA. It was not the British crown that directly fought wars in India. The State of Mysore extended from east to west up to Four hundred miles covering a … © 1971 Indian History Congress The serious blows that Tipu Sultan inflicted on the British in the First and Second Mysore Wars affected their reputation as an invincible power. That journey between thirst, between being thirty and actually fulfilling it is the meaning of the word value. However, the chapters on Tipu have been retained in the class 6 and 10 books, official sources said. So because the topic of my address relates to history, we can begin with some main concepts. Tipu reduced it to just 50,000 during his late battle. So Tipu’s stated goal in his own words was to bring Islam to the infidel land under the sword of Islam, as the selected letters of Kirkpatrick show. So Lewis writes in the Mysore Gazetteer and I quote, “In a vast empire of Tipu Sultan, on the eve of his death, there were only 2 Hindu temples having daily functional pujas. And some of these records are written by Tipu’s own contemporaries and by his own biographer. And after a few weeks, it evoked widespread outrage, and a lawsuit was filed against Sanjay Khan by the Bombay Kerala Samaja. Ramkatha, Sita-Ram Kalyana, how are these done? So I’ll begin with a small, very humorous quote by an American scholar of history, He says, about politics he says this, and I quote “The first lesson of politics is to forget the first lesson of history”. The official history of the freedom movement of India starts with the premises that India lost independence only in the 18th century, and has thus an experience of subjection to a foreign power for only 2 centuries. He commanded a corps of cavalry in the invasion of Carnatic in 1767 at age 16. So here are some of the defining characteristics of medieval Muslim rule in India, I don’t need to dwell at it, most of you know this. Meanwhile the inactive Governor General John Shore was replaced by Lord Wellesley. All great elements of Indian civilization and culture was a gift of alien invaders, starting with the Aryans who came from outside. In his letter to Sultan Abdul Hameed, Tipu wrote about the excesses the British had committed in India and sought military support. So, but in practical terms, this politicization of history simply means this. Tipu Sultan was a devout Muslim but he had respect for other religions also and due to this reason he established several Hindu temples and mutts and maintained regular correspondence with them. Here are excerpts from some of the letters which Tipu Sultan had sent to his army commanders: 1.) Kirkpatrick writes about the importance of these letters and I quote, “The importance of these letters consists in the vivid illustration which they afford in the talents and disposition of their extraordinary author, who is here successively and repeatedly delineated in colours from his own pencil, as the cruel and relentless enemy, the intolerant bigot or furious fanatic, the oppressive and unjust ruler, the perfidious negotiator.”. What Aurangzeb did in a span of 50 years throughout most of India, Tipu did the same thing in just 4 states, in a span of about 17 years, in South India. The Kerala oral tradition remembers Tipu’s “visit” to the Malabar as the “Military March”, where he literally burnt down Kozhikode and several parts of Malabar, right down to the ground. (audience member says President of India, Speaker replies “Also! Iliad, Odyssey. I’m not kidding you! Iti + ha + asa, which literally means “it happened thus”. Letters and orders directing to do such horrible things were also issued by Tipu Sultan. It symbolizes a living tradition and most importantly, it symbolizes a long line of civilizational and cultural continuity. Or based on the foundations of false history or distorted history, and as far as I See it, there is no such thing as a goal of history so to say, because the trajectory of the historical establishment, I hate to use that word but anyway. I consider this as Jehad to achieve that object. First, it is a truthful understanding of our past. So this letter is just one tiny sample of hundreds of such letters that Tipu wrote to various people. But that is not Urdu. This notion, this image of Tipu still persists. Thank You. So, let’s look at another quote, “It is an ominous sign of the time that Indian history is being viewed in official circles, in the perspective of recent politics. Under his leadership, the Mysore army proved to be a school of military science to Indian princes. Lot of respected elders from whom I’ve learnt, like Dr Elst & Sangrinu Mukherjee, other people like Dr. Shankar Sharan, they’re all in the audience. And this kind of absolute nonsense is taught from early school level right up to university. In one battle he fell down from his palki and literally ran like a coward to save his life. And as far as I’m concerned, the quest for the truth is only the goal of history, that’s the only goal and nothing else. The Indian History Congress is the major national organisation of Indian historians, and has occupied this position since its founding session under the name of Modern History Congress, held at Poona in 1935. Even if it is only for promoting communal harmony, blatant lies should not be deliberately propagated. So in Coorg and Sakleshpur region, street dogs are named after Tipu. Temples and Churches were ordered to be burnt down, desecrated and destroyed. So in that period, in 1948/49, the likes of you know, eminent historians like Romila Thapar, they were not anywhere around the scene. General Knowledge Mcqs consists of World Geography, Atmosphere, Science & Literature, events Mcqs, Current Affairs Mcqs , Pakistan Affairs Mcqs and International Organizations. Tipu Sultan, also known as the Tipu Sahib, was a ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore. Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore, had been everyone’s icon. All of you here in this room, I’m sure understand and are aware of the consequences that this kind of politicization of history in India has taken us how far. Also, many Nawabs were being hard-pressed by the rising powers. So the notion of Tipu Sultan fighting for India’s freedom does not arise. Tipu Sultan’s sovereign consciousness was intimately connected with religion. The Afghan king, Zaman Shah Durrani, was Abdali’s grandson. It is now going to hold its 77th annual session at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, on 28-30 December 2016.

So then we come to stuff like bowls of history, and I will give a disclaimer saying that, you know, whatever I said so far does not mean that I reject a, you know, study of history as a scientific study of our past. But apart from all these guys, guess who else has honoured Tipu? They are not celebrated; it is not a living tradition. The recent efforts of the Hindu right to project him as a Muslim bigot show that their political stakes in him have changed. Like the Caliph in Turkey, and also to the French, whom he invited to occupy India and then they would, he dreamt of sharing the spoils of the conquest. And a branch of the Iyengar community hailing from Melukote near Mysore, for generations together, still doesn’t celebrate Deepavali. History writing, especially about the medieval Muslim rule has been fraught with political correctness, controversy, and in several cases, downright falsification. Considering these strategies of Tipu Sultan, Wellesley wrote a letter to Tipu Sultan on 8th of Nov. 1798 A.D. complaining that Tipu was working against the treaty of Srirangapatna. He fought some of the most decisive battles against the British. Initially, Zaman Shah agreed to help Tipu, but the Persian attack on Afghanistan's Western border diverted its forces, and hence no help could be provided to Tipu. The journal has constantly taken the view that ‘India’ for its purpose is the country with its Pre-Partition boundaries, while treats Contemporary History as the history of Indian Union after 1947. It’s a well-known story and I don’t need to repeat it, but putting it in one line. Après avoir fait face à de sérieuses menaces de la part de l'Empire marathe, Tipû Sâhib commence à se ...
