Sultan of Mysore

There are 30 reverential letters written in Kannada by Tipu Sultan, to the then Sancaracharya of Shringagiri.

 Today, Maratha rulers are icons of Hindu nationalism.
In 1791, Maratha ruler Parashuram Bhau, ravaged Mysore and damaged the Dakshinamnaya pita, the Sancaracharya temple at Shringagiri. The Maratha looted it's property.

And Tipu Sultan renovated the Shringagiri temple.

Same Tipu was unable to capture the pradhans of Rani Lakshmi Ammanni, who negotiated for the Rani with the British. And the Sultan ordered a public hanging of around 700 members of the pradhan community, the Mandyam Iyengars.
Men, women and children killed in broad daylight, that too on Diwali day.
Some Mandyam Iyengars observe Diwali as a day of mourning, even to this day.

- Why we love to hate Tipu Sultan, live mint.
