TIPPU SULTAN
HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY
|
Tippu's life is an unusual tragedy. Anybody who comes into contact with the facts of his life will be attracted by the drama of his tragic life. This has lead to various dramas and novels on his life in different languages. And histories doing factual justice to his life were practically non-existent.
Tippu
Sultan who fought the English relentlessly is however neither included in the
regional loyalists category nor the national champions'. The book studies Indian
history in a rare light that reflects on other champions of our national cause
and a view of the ugly side of our national pride.
Tippu Sultan's contact with Malabar is a very small portion of his history.
To correctly assess this contact it is necessary to have a proper understanding
of Indian history. More than two thirds of this book contains Indian history.
In that larger Context, relevant Kerala history is described as a 'close up'.
This book is dedicated to the memory of the author's friend P.K. Abdul Khader.
