Tippu Sultan has not only destroyed Christian Churches but he forcibly converted Christians in to Muslim faith, those who opposed this move were eliminated, that is what our elders used to say. Belthangady’s Gadai Kallu was the spot were his Soldiers used to push Christians & Hindus, to their death. St. Aloysius Chapel was erased and its stones were used to build the Mosque at Light house hill Road. Those who celebrate his Birth Centenary should first read the History, then call him Secular, He fought with British not to save India but his own Kingdom. State Governments move to celebrate his Birth centenary is merely Vote Bank Politics. Our Christian spiritual or Political Leaders should have protested.
