His adopted daughter was a Hindu, who fought died fighting in the battle. He is so loved by Hindus and Muslims alike in the Southern India, that they still call him 'Raja'. And I have spoken to both.

If you are a Nazi Hindu, I can't convince you; then you eat lies and relieve lies.

Recommend Leo Marks biography. He was a code breaker for SOE in London (Regent Street) and supplied the codes for the agents including Noor Khan. They were usually in the form of a poem. His father owned the famous Marks & Co bookshop in Charing X Road (now a pizza joint!) He wrote the inimitable poem for Violette Szabo.

Tippo was brutal towards Hindoos. He killed too many bramins in his jails.

anold130 ... you were witness all the you are wrote in your post ... sound like you are mental case or perhaps an ignorant who do not know head or tail of History. First and foremost Tipu wasn't Mughal, neither he was an Emperor, he was sultan of Mysor a small Kingdom. And as far it goes to Noor Inayat Khan,,, She was decorated posthumously by British and French Govt. for her invaluable and dangerous work behind the enemy line, History Channel made a documentary on her work.
