Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge Compares Tipu Sultan to RSS

In a recent statement, Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge drew a parallel between the military campaigns of Tipu Sultan and the alleged lack of involvement of the RSS in India's freedom struggle. Kharge asserted that Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore, fought four Anglo-Mysore wars, demonstrating his active participation in resisting colonial rule. He contrasted this with the RSS, claiming they were absent from the struggle for independence. This comparison has ignited a debate, with some supporting Kharge's view while others criticize it as a historical misrepresentation.
