Aligarh:
The Aligarh Muslim University Saturday announced a centre for
strategic studies named after the great Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan,
who fought against the British forces in the 18th century.
"He (Tipu Sultan) was a true secular ruler of distinguished
character. He was a right statesman and a right soldier who
donated a huge amount for the construction of temples," AMU Vice
Chancellor, Lt. Gen. (retd) Zameer Uddin Shah said at a seminar
"Life and Work of Tipu Sultan" to mark Tipu Sultan's 214th death
anniversary.
Shah said Tipu Sultan, who died fighting the British forces,
sacrificed his life for the sake of the country.
Chief guest Yusuf Ansari, a senior journalist from New Delhi, said
that "the sacrifice of Tipu Sultan paved the way for the freedom
struggle of the country. He also expressed his unhappiness over
the role of media which turned its eye from sacrifice and
contributions of Tipu Sultan".
Ali Athar, department of history, AMU, said that it was a pity
that Tipu Sultan's descendants were living in misery in Kolkata
and other places and were running dhabas or pulling rickshaws.
