No need for a controversy
This is an unnecessary controversy
over the naming of Srirangapatanam central university which is to be launched
by union government. Some Kannada writers and communalists are trying to
misrepresent Tipu Sultan as fanatic and communalist ruler. But no one can push
back the truth that he was the first freedom fighter and the first ruler who
made an international alliance with French against British rule.
There is no doubt on his secular and
patriotic mind. He helped many temples in Sriranganapatanam and varios parts of
his country. Guruvayoor temple, one of them, was reconstructed by his fund.
Famous historian KKN Kurup pointed it out that he had helped more than 40
temples with providing varios allowances.
In India, it will be a great honor
to the first freedom fighter who implemented the nationalism and the modern
thoughts which derived from French revolution. As a common deal, how can we
neglect him from his own Srirangapatanam!? It will be good our union government
go ahead with the plan as the history itself is strengthening the government
project.
