My talk on the 1st Islamic incursion in South India in the 11th century by the fanatic followers of Mahmud of Ghazni which affected Karnataka very badly.
The evidence of that incursion is in the tomb of a ghazi who died in the war with a local army in Thondanur in Mandya district. Six hundred years later, Tipu, on coming to know of this ghazi and how his loot was recovered by Ramanujacharya thereby making his martyrdom wasted, dealt a blow by housing the tomb in a Narasimha temple after destroying it. He also destroyed the places associated with Ramanuja. These events project Tipu not as a hero, but as a bigot who had scant regard for men and materials of our country.
