Excerpts from the book TIPU SULTAN: AS KNOWN IN #KERALA by Sri RAVI VARMA 1. Tipu Sultan was a despicable character, an Islamic fiend, and a national villain in the eyes of the proud #Malayalees and the valiant Coorgis. 2. The darkest period in the history of Kerala was the period of Hyder Ali Khan and Tipu Sultan from 1766 to 1792 - socially, culturally and politically. Ruins of hundreds of Hindu temples destroyed by Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali Khan are the standing witnesses to their brutalities in Kerala. 3. Tipu Sultan- the most intolerant cruel, and fanatic Muslim ruler in the South India. His main object, like his father Hyder Ali Khans, was to subjugate the whole of Kerala and convert its #Hindu population to Islamic faith by force. Tipu Sultans notorious jihad was SWORD or CAP (forcible conversion), a cruel option for a hapless Hindu population. 4. First mothers were hanged with children tied to the necks of their mothers. That barbarian #TipuSultan tied the naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of elephants and made the elephants move about till the bodies of the helpless victims were tom to pieces. Temples and Churches were ordered to be burnt, desecrated and destroyed. Christian and Hindu women were forced to marry Muhammadans. 5. Tipus brutalities were against all sections - Brahmins, Nairs, Zamorins and Thiyyas of Hindu community, not excluding even women and children. Even Christians were not spared. 6. Tipu Sultan had destroyed more than 8000 temples in South India. 7. Tipus defeat and humiliation on the borders of Travancore were concerned, the British played no role; the entire credit for the victory goes to the strategy of Raja Kesava Das and the valiant soldiers of the Travancore army. voiceofdharma.org/books/tipu/ch04.htm
