‘Tipu Sultan: The Saga of Mysore’s Interregnum (1760–1799)’ by Vikram Sampath opens a window to the life and times of one of the most debated figures from India’s history.
Through maps, photographs, texts, and poetry, the Banni Nodi project takes people back to Bangalore Fort and Tipu Sultan’s final battle against the East India company in 1799.
Haider Ali & Tipu Sultan clashed with the rulers of Tamil Nadu over control of the Nilgiris, which, played an important role in the geopolitics of early modern South India.
A day earlier, stonepelting was reported in Ahmednagar. With these two incidents, Maharashtra has seen nine incidents of communal conflict in 4 months.
In an interview, BJP MP from Bengaluru South says all surveys will fall flat as party will 100% retain power in the state, and that Basavaraj Bommai has performed well as CM.
Tipu Sultan's life is a hot topic in poll-bound Karnataka, and now his death is up for debate, with BJP arguing 2 Vokkaliga warriors killed him. But move seems to be backfiring.
Tipu Sultan is remembered as the Indian ruler who died fighting the British and did not take a pension. But that does not automatically make him a patriot.
As election approaches, BJP pits ‘unpatriotic’ Tipu against ‘patriotic’ Savarkar. It's an attempt to corner Hindu votes & divert attention from governance issues, say analysts.
While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
