		Tipu represents a heritage they would rather not recognize, or would preferably vilify and term as barbaric and as anti-Hindu, and in today’s politics of making use of all localisms and regional chauvinisms as well, as also anti-Kannadiga.
		Tipu’s modernizing and positive influence was felt across a region much larger than present day Karnataka, both by virtue of the extent of the territories under his rule and the legend that he became in the minds of the people.

	Citizen Tipu And Saffronazis By Subhash Gatade
		For Murthy it is a minor matter that Tipu sensed the designs of the British and tried to forge broader unity with the domestic rulers and even tried to connect with French and the Turks and the Afghans to give a fitting reply to the hegemonic designs of the British.
		Ofcourse the move to obliterate the name of the warrior whose martyrdom fighting the Britishers preceded the historic revolt of the 1857 by around 50 years does not appear surprising as far as the whole trajectory of the RSS is concerned.
		The pretext of anti-Kannada bias in Tipu Sultan runs hollow when one knows that the Archeaological Department of Mysore State is in possession of over thirty letters by Tipu to the Shankaracharya of Shringeri Math.
