How was Tipu Sultan actually Killed

It is surprising how the “historians” of the past and present have successfully twisted the truth in such a manner that people now believe the lie as the great truth. It is said that a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. Maharani Lakshmi Ammanni if Wadeyar dynasty if Mysore had entered into an agreement to oppose a Tipu Sultan so that Wadeyar can claim back the dynasty. Two soldiers in Mysore army by bane Najegowda and Uri gowda were her main supporters. The alliance attacked Tipu sultan. On May 4th of 1799, the battle had reached its final stages when Tipu escaped to Watergate bear Sri Ranganatha temple in Srirangapatna. Nanje gowda being a local man knew every nook and corner and was eyeing Tipu through out the battle and followed him to the water gate and killed him there. However, the British took the credit and attributed the killing to a British soldier saying that he killed Tipu and took away all the precious jewellery on his body. And what the British said became the history and the truth went into hiding. 157.50.65.95 (talk) 20:38, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

The Religion of Tipu

In the info box, Tipu is stated to have been a Sunni Muslim, however the two sources provided don't even talk about his religion but rather talk about his relations with the Ottoman Empire which has nothing to do with his religion. All sources about him seem to agree about him being a Muslim, however there's no source talking about which sect of Islam he adhered to. The only source that seems to talk about his sect is the Oxford Encyclopedia Of the Modern World, Volume 4 (Published in 2008), on page 243 where it mentions him as being the "Shia ruler of Mysore" Salman Cooper Mapping (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Please link the source and provide direct quotes SKAG123 (talk) 01:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

. On page 243, you'll find the line "This period also saw the growth of several strong Muslim powers-chiefly Awadh,Bengal and Hyderabad.Each of these competed with the Mughals and with each other for power.In the 1780s and 1790s,the Shia Muslim Tipu Sultan (r.1782-1799) ruler of Mysore in Southern India who held his own against increasingly difficult circumstances,until his defeat by the British in 1799".
