Mike it seems that you would not put any thing staright or you can not? 1.Tipu fought against British/ Sought Help from France it is always taken in high regrads but it does not mean that what he did to his Hindu Subject was Right. 2. As far as Scindia are concerned they were among culprits of 1857 No Doubt . have heard In poem jhansi Ki rani (angrezon ka mitra Scindia) and he was gaddar from that point too. But please do not make it general in 1857 or before the concept of Indian Union did Not . exisit. Nizam/ Sikh/Rajputs/ Bengal ka Nawab/ these states and many Muslim Princely States too did Not support 1857 or even 1757/1764/1849 etc. Even Holkers also Did No participate. Entire J&k, Pathan Belt was quiet. so if tipu/Peshwa/Jafar/ Hazrat Mahal/ Laxmi bai fought, it more was for States than Nation. again Tipu was ditched by a gang of his Trusted Muslim Nobles in Court of Sri Rangapattanam along with maharaja of Mysore (Wadiars) from whom his father has snatched throne. Gandhi, Muslim or HINDU Ruler be it any were they all were Defetaed due to their own trusted persons. remeber Palssey/ Buxar/ Surrender of Jafar/ in all thses cases muslims have ditched muslims. and Concept of Biradran e Majhab(all madarsa going mullahs know it) failed like any thing. so get out from half known theories promoted showing uslim supremacy and align in the direction of Moder India.
