Tipub Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore, was born on November 20, 1750, 272 years ago. He was the subcontinent's first freedom fighter. He gave his life in the fight against the British empire. He was the only Indian ruler who recognised the British threat to India. #TipuSultan #CPIM

Today is the death anniversary of #TipuSultan

There were only two kings that the British feared the most.

1) Tipu
2) Ranjit Singh

Tipu Sultan & Ranjit Singh did far more than any other Indian ruler to stop the British from taking over the entire Indian subcontinent.
