Tipu Sultan: The Whitewashing Of A Tyranny In South India | Sandeep Balakrishna |

History writing, especially about the medieval Muslim rule has been fraught with political correctness, controversy, and in several cases, downright falsification. This has occurred mostly with official state patronage. 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.
The history of #TipuSultan too, stands as a glaring instance of this distorted historical narrative. Indeed, we have seen, read, and heard about a lot of people claiming to be freedom fighters and receiving pensions from the Government. Several of these worthies would not have been born before Independence yet they succeed in such blatant manipulations. Tipu Sultan is widely known as the Tiger of Mysore. Indeed, the image of Tipu battling a tiger barehanded crosses the mind whenever his name is mentioned. But is this the truth? Was Tipu Sultan truly the freedom fighter as he has been portrayed? What exactly is his record of fighting the British? Was he really a freedom fighter as is widely claimed? This lecture answers these questions and exposes numerous other such myths.

@Mini Pillai Gandhiji’s Ahimsa was a brilliant tactic against the British.Heres why the British were an all powerful empire who prided themselves on justice and fair play.There is no way India could have won a war against the British in the battlefield.If India had fought and lost ,the British could morally claim victory and continue to rule India.However by using the nonviolent tactic Gandhiji shocked the conscience of the British in Britain and in the Western world. This had a great impact on Britain’s standing.Together with economic boycott of British goods, this worked very well. However I do feel post independence Gandhiji made several mistakes that have cost India dearly .Chief amongst them was choosing Nehru (a totally westernized elitist) to be Prime Minister
