British considered Tipu acruel'; don't celebrate his Jayanti: RSS to govt

Bengaluru, Oct 29: In bizarre argument Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has said that the Karnataka government should not celebrate the birth anniversary (Jayanti) of Tipu Sultan as the British also had considered him as cruel and inhumane.

tipu-sultan

The assertion comes after the Kannada and Culture department decided to go ahead with the Tipu Jayanti celebrations on November 10 in spite of strong opposition from Sangh Parivar. The department has also decided to invite Hindu seers to shed light on Tipu's contribution towards Hindus.

Voicing its opposition to the continuation of Tipu Jayanti this year, RSS Sanghachalak V Nagaraj said that the state government was using the event for political gains. Last years, the event had landed the government in a controversy, he reminded.

"We have nothing against commemorating anniversaries of historical personalities. But, even the British have chronicled Tipu Sultan as having been cruel and inhumane," Nagaraj said.

The RSS asked why the government was not celebrating the birth anniversaries of the poet, Kabir or the former President, APJ Abdul Kalam.

It is worth mentioning here that the British historians also have admitted that Tipu was the only king in the history of modern world who laid down his life in the battle field fighting against the occupation forces.

RSS quotation itself proves that world has no matching personality like TIPPU for Nationalism and defence of country. For British - Tippu, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Ashfakullah Khan, Ghandiji, S.C. Bose... the list is endless.... all were Terrorists. It was Timid Savarkar and Hindutva fascists joined hands with British, worked against mother India and responsible for the massacre of thousands of Freedom Fighters of India. Till today these anti-national forces neither recognised Secular India, nor constitution, tricolour flag, national anthem.. rather they use all these to destroy Secular India. Founder of RSS openly said NOT TO FIGHT AGAINST BRITISH and advocated his goons to fight against Muslims. This is the history of RSS & British

All Indians fully understand that the RSS was actively in support of the British, and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to fight for India's independence from colonial rule. Its a known fact that USA has already enlisted RSS a terror group and has to be banned.

If in front of RSS, Mahatma Gandhi is criminal, who else is good fro them.
RSS needs high level medical treatment. This is true not joke.

Whoever discussing any subject where RSS is involved, it is waste of time and finally it is stupidity to talk to them.

Just see what they did to Mahatma Gandhi and how they are glorifying his assassin Naturam Godse.

Unfortunately it is our unluck, still in India the majority of the people are their supporters therefore they were able to keep their puppet BJP in centre.

God, give them wisdom.

Yes ... This is the real face of the cheddis which was hidden for long time..the cheddis will follow their chachas (British) who want to rule over the people just like they used to rule over india and take all the resources and enjoy their life by making others to enslave them...

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
