Today marks the birth anniversary of one of India’s most valiant and visionary rulers — Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore. A king far ahead of his time, Tipu Sultan remains an enduring symbol of courage, innovation, and patriotism.
He was not just a fearless warrior who fought bravely against British colonial forces, but also a progressive, liberal, and visionary leader who brought remarkable reforms to administration, economy, and technology. His governance introduced modern revenue systems, promotion of trade, agricultural development, and encouragement of science and education.
Tipu Sultan was the first ruler in India to introduce rocket technology in warfare — an innovation so advanced that it later inspired British scientists and found its place in the records of NASA’s historical archives. His legacy continues to inspire generations with his commitment to sovereignty, justice, and technological advancement.
Let us remember this great son of India who lived and died for freedom and dignity.
Salute to the Tiger of Mysore, Tipu Sultan — a symbol of courage, progress, and resistance.
