Minister says government will celebrate Tipu Jayanti every year

Daijiworld Media Network -Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Dec 3: State Wakf minister, Qamarul Islam, said that the government will celebrate Tipu Sultan's birth anniversary every year.

The minister was speaking after meeting a few persons, said to be descendants of Tipu Sultan, who had met him on Wednesday December 2 to express gratitude for celebrating Tipu Jayanti this year. The minister, who felicitated the visitors, wondered why cannot the government, which celebrates birth anniversaries of Kanaka Dasa, Basaveshwara etc, celebrate Tipu Jayanti.

"Unsavoury incidents occurred because of intolerance spread by BJP leaders. Specifically, opposition leader in the assembly Jagadish Shettar, and former speaker, K G Bopaiah, are directly responsible for the breach of peace at Madikeri during Tipu Jayanti ceebrations," he commented. He added that he does not regret the incidents which occurred at Tipu Jayanti at Madikeri.

Shehzada Ismail Shah Sultan, Shehzad Rehamat Unnisa and Syed Mansood were honoured by the minister.

Why government is hell bent on celebrating Tipu Jayanthi even when majority muslims do not believe in birth day celebrations?

Congress wants to continue celebrate Tippu Jayanthi? Good celebrate at your homes. Hang his portrait and worship him, but don't force our children to participate in any celebration of a person who committed genocide. If you guys want vote, go on the street, kneel down and beg for it, but do not stoop down to the extent of celebrating the birthday of Hitler like personality just to please a few. We will see that congress will take a long vacation to worship Tippu in the next general election.

Mr. Lawrence,
You have written a statement which you urself are un aware of so. how can you make such a statement when you are totally un aware. what genocide you're talking about. Tipu sultan is main personality who fought with the British to get rid of them from the country and from their genocide and un human treatment to the innocent people of our country. Fighting for freedom is genocide in your dictionary. wake up guys!. why all these double standards.

If the government is really interested in celebrating jayanthis, why do they ignore benevolent emperors like Ashoka, Akbar, Harshavarhana, Krishnadevaraya, etc. Why do they unnecessarily rake up conflict by celebrating a controversial, disputed figure in history?

Unlike other historical accounts by different historians, no two secular historians have given identical accounts of Tipu, except that he was a brave warrior. He adopted different tactics to deal with different communities and regions. One of his objectives was to cleanse his kingdom of Kafirs or infidels, using all possible tactics, depending upon the nature and population of those communities. On one side of his kingdom he gave grants to a few temples, on the other side he destroyed many temples. He permitted the French to build a church in Mysore apparently in exchange for their support against the British. On the other hand he mercilessly persecuted and killed the Christians of Mangalore. While he demolished all churches in Mangalore, he spared one at Farangipet. Except for his bravery he had been highly controversial in his dealings with the common people.

Just because Tippu sulthan was unfair to mangalorean Catholics we cannot call tippu sulthan as atraitor. Infact he was a freedom fighter who fought for uprooting British rule in India. Of Course persecution of chritians wrong but during Tippu sulthans period monarchy was the way of governance not democracy so it quite natural that Tippu sulthan felt that Mangaloreans catholic supported Britishers so his logic was enemy is friend is enemy. But i have high esteem with my christian friend for their yeomen service for humanity especially in education helath care and upliftment of displaced poor people

Words and phrases like “freedom, independence, self government, one nation, etc.” were unknown during Tipu’s time. Struggle for freedom started about 60 years after Tipu’s death and was intensified with the establishment of INC in 1885. All kings and princely rulers during Tipu’s time either fought among themselves or against the British and French or aligned with them for their own survival. The concept of self government and independence arose in the 19th century.

Rahil, your logic is dubious. A few Christians might have sided British for their selfish motto, but killing of all the Christians is not justified. Do you know how Tippu was killed? By the betrayal of his own close aide who is not a Christian.

boss... nazeer Husain, Jeddah Saudi Arabia... it's not the question of majority and communal boss. It's pure political game by Congress. They want to show their concern on minority with which they are surviving. Please understand. At this juncture, let's not call out any more Jayanthis. Not hindu's , nor Christians. Let's be happy with the existing Jayanthi's and holidays. We respect your community boss. no harm and issues in common men and public. If they ( political leaders ) let us live with out creating such issues, we will be happily living, I am telling you. This is just to keep the fire on this Congress govt brining all these new new issues. If you want, claim for a Jayanthi on Abdul Kalam who was a national leaders and every Indian Citizen respects him. there would have been no fights or objections for that. Calling out Tippu's ( who is respected by partial india , but hated by half the India ) they created a mess and still they don't want to calm it down. Somany lives gone, unnecessarily. So, please think and join us to retain peace in society. Let them not create any communal issues like this. Then we can easily see who creates on the other hand. If some one still creates, easy to catch and eliminate right. So, as public , let's join together and ask for NO such issues to be created by Govt.

Yes. The work of the govt. is to create violence in the state so that all blame should be put on opposition party and they can boil their food. Why the leaders have to give open statement about tippu jayanthi celebration, again to create violence. We should think about the development of the country, correct implement of Central & state government programs instead of blaming each other and fight like dogs. The media people should stop these type of news/debates in their channel. Because if normal people listen only the good news they may forget all the bad things which happened before. So please live peacefully, give respect and take respect instead of blaming e each other.
Why we need to read/listen everyday about ISIS and other violence creating organizations news in media. If we live together we can throw out all bad evils from our mother India. Think of it and act like it

In your point of view Tony Blair is a liar and confessed blunder that is upto him. The parliament of U.K has approved to go to war against Iraq. Tony blair was an elected leader of the masses. Unlike Tippu was a terrorist and a self proclaimed king.

I can say apology and confessing is better to enter into heaven.

Even Moses killed an Egyptian prior to he was chosen to deliver the Israelites from Egypt.

Did Tippu apologize to Christians and Hindus for torturing, blunders, massacres and for proselytizing.

You people quote: THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION. Has not Tipu crossed the barrios of the tenets of own religion?

REALLY UTTER NONSENSE. CELEBRATING DEAD ONES IS LEADS TO WORSHIP.
ITS NOT ISLAMIC CULTURE. SIDDHU FORGET THAT MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS ARE AGAINST IT.
HOW BJP LOST BECAUSE OF BEEF ISSUE.
NOW I THINK CONGRESS WILL LOSE BECAUSE OF JAYANTHI.
PEOPLE ONLY SEE WHAT DEVELOPMENT HAS DONE BY GOVT. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN JAYANTHI.
THIS JAYANTI COSTS MANY CRORES EVERY YEAR.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR CONGRESS IF THEY DONT STOP CELEBRATING JAYANTHI.
BEEF AND JAYANTHI CANT GO HAND IN HAND.

Though forest brigando Veerappan who was killed by Karnataka/Tamilnadu police few years was branded a s docoit,animal pocher was alo very kind towards poor people living in forest areas .He has helped them for food,marriages of poor girls plentily.Can we expect the Karnataka govt celebrate Veerappans jayanthi from next year?Govt should think positively and his jayanthi also!

Govt main intention is not celebrating Tippu Jayanthi, to create communal violence. This is the only way to create problems. Surely some hindu followers protest this. In the name of protest communal violence happens. Then the political parties blame each other. you did first you did first. why celebration ? why not to Celebrate ?like that

Firstly Celebration of Birthday is not acceptable in Islam.

Second thing. WE the followers of Muhammad (PBUH).
"DO NOT" celebrate his birthday either.Then who the Hell is Tippu! we are least bothered about this guy.

Get some real knowledge brothers.
Follow the Authentic Books.

‘Better late than never’ At last Congress did a good job by celebrating a patriarch and the first brave king who initiated the fight against British to quit India. If BJP is planning to celebrate Ghandiji killer Nathuram, many may happy but here I saw only some vested interest negative comments, this shows how they love their ancestor British. In such case we must not look caste, creed and religion to celebrate a great personality who even sacrificed his children for the sake of India. Remember that and let us celebrate Tipu Jayanti nationwide.

If you are proud of King Ashok and Nathurma Godse, why can we celebrate these people Jayanti, these above mentioned ppl also contributed a lot to the society in their own way, because of religious mentality some historian changed the fact according to their convenience and will.
We should remember failure and Success is part of the life. We cannot measure a person’s contribution based on failure or success.

Government should know that muslims want peace. No one asked them to celebrate Tippu Jayanthi. Moreover celebrating birthdays is not Islamic culture.
I am sure they are doing this for Muslim votes. But definitely they will lose the next election because majority is against them.

Final nail on Congress coffin. Congress won't win any more in Karnataka. Instead of Tipu Jayanthi, concentrate on good governance. Tipu Jayanthi will create problems in the society as TipuJ was not secular. Hope congress stalwarts Oscar Fernandes, JR Lobo and Ivan Dsouza still exist in Congress. If these people has little shame, they should resign from congress. Congress is sinking because of it's own blunders and the day is not far where Congress will be completely wiped out from India. By celebrating Tipu Jayanthi, we are glorifying a butcher. History cannot be rewritten. Niddheramayya still in deep sleep. Better wake up now..

Tippu was a real patriotic king where as other princes were nothing but tax collectors for the British. I could say he was one of the few kings who really fought the British and sacrificed his life because of a crooked spy.He has done a lot of good and tried to push the British out.He may have punished some of the catholics who were not patriotic.Kings did punish who ever is against them. Patriotism has nothing to do with color of the skin,sexual orientation or the belief system.The people's beliefs depend on their education and conditioning in childhood. Like smoking,sickness and ignorance belong mostly to low education levels.Ignorance is the main cause of turmoil these days.Which ever religion we belong we have the same Soul or Spirit inside.That is the basis of Hindu philosophy on which all religions are based. So lets respect a true patriot.History cannot be changed because somebody does not like history.When we change history , we dig your own grave.

Tippu is patriotic? My foot. He was a butcher. He killed many innocent hindus and christians for his political gain. Tipu is black dot on Indian history. Celebration of Tipu Jayanti is just madness of current government. Jawahar you need to read Karnataka history. Don't assume things. You cannot change history by mentioning lies in this forum. Tipu destroyed lot of churches and temples. Every year one hindu family is being facilitated by christians as they protected the church during Tipu's attack.

Tipu was not the original ruler of Mysore. His father, Hyder Ali usurped the throne of Mysore and held the then Maharaja captive, until the British restored the kingdom to the original ruler of the Wodeyar dynasty. Tipu fought against the British with the help of the French for his own survival.
