Mysuru: Tipu Sultan was a ruler who no longer simplest respected the main of equality but also fought in opposition to exploitation of vulnerable sections of the society, stated Sosale Gangadhar, president of the Bahumukhi Trust. “Tipu’s legacy has been marred by way of vested pursuits,” stated Gangadhar.
Pointing to a couple of Tipu’s accomplishments as a ruler, Gangadhar added, “Besides beginning rejuvenation of lakes and ponds, Tipu carried out various developmental projects.”
Gangadhar, who was on the unlock of the book, ‘Why Should Tipu be an inspiration?’ penned by way of Mahesh Irasavadi, stated, “Tipu was someone who fought exploitation.”
BR Rangaswamy, in the meantime, pointed to the essentially pluralistic polity of Tipu. “If one observes Tipu’s reign, she or he will learn that he didn't discriminate in opposition to any religion,” Rangaswamy added.
Lauding the book for illumining hitherto unknown sides of the ruler, Rangaswamy stated, “Tipu was no longer a fanatic as he is made out to be. Tipu built a state that promoted equality.”
Questioning the society’s reluctance to recognise Tipu Sultan, convener of the Dalit Sangarsha Samiti Chornahalli Shivanna stated, “The society accepts Rama, who sent his wife to the woodland, and Dharmaraya, who gambled his wife Draupadi away, but has a problem accepting Tipu, who pledged his sons for the country.”
