I know that Vijayanagar empire's ruling clans were Telugus/Kannadigas. But following are well known facts.
Vijayanagara architecture was a combination of the Chalukya, Hoysala, Pandya and Chola styles.
Wikipedia says that though much of the Tamil literature from this period came from Tamil speaking regions ruled by the feudatory Pandya who gave particular attention on the cultivation of Tamil literature, some poets were patronised by the Vijayanagara kings. It further goes on to say that Vijayanagara was originally of the Karnataka country and it drew its inspirations from the Hoysala Empire and the Gangas of the Karnataka and the Chola and Pandya of the Tamil country. But it is chiefly remarkable in raising above all regionalism and in creating the all India nationalism of to-day in all of its spheres of activities.
You say "It has least to do with Tamil"... You are twisting history for your needs.
You assumed that I am a Dravidian sympathiser and go on to accuse that it's a fallacy. I don't know how much you know about Dravidian movement but if you are from Andhra and still speak Telugu in your home then you have to thank Dravidian movement for that. If it was not there you would most probably speaking Hindi in your home. Anti caste activities of Dravidian movement was another major reason why upper caste discrimination was so easily defeated in Tamil Nadu. From your talks I can understand that you know nothing about the history of Dravidian movement but don't act smart we tamils want none of your participation in any of our political activities. Btw I am NOT a Dravidian movement follower. Its political activities are far from perfect but still it deserves far better respect than your ignorant abuses.
Again don't repeat historical events I too have read them. Yes I very well know the atrocities of Tipu Sultan. I know that he is a tyrant. What's your point? You seem to be confused and not answering my points. Don't jump from one issue to another. Answer me why didn't North Indians fight Muslims.. Why did they get burned or became willing slaves.. the same North Indians who today call themselves as Jats the warriors, Rajputs the greats.. Punjabis the martial race etc etc.. The same people fell one over another to avoid fighting Muslim invaders. Answer me that.
Btw I don't think that common buddhist man is a non-violent to the level of getting killed without a fight. Past and present history of Buddist countries show contrary facts.
