- Dark Deepavali of Melkote and Tipu sultan
200 years ago….During the reign of Tipu Sultan towards the last phase of the 18th century, a tragedy followed by gloom, struck on the evening of Deepavali - Hindu festival of lights. Hell's gate was broken wide open when Tipu's army raided on a congregation of 700 Mandyam Ayyangars at Narashimhaswamy temple on the banks of Cauvery at Srirangaptna town, capital of Tipu Sultan. With razor-sharp swords in their hands, the rampaging soldiers made the unexpected, bewildered and frightened crowd run fearing for their lives. In the wake of this unprovoked raid on innocent, quiet people, there was a trail of destruction, chaos and killing no body ever saw in this part before. In a jiff, an occasion of joy and fun turned into one filled with crying, wailing and weeping over the dead and severely injured. The Sultan's army had just committed massacre - the worst one on the soil of what is now called Mandya district of Karnataka.
When Hyder Ali captured the throne of Mysore in a treacherous way from Immadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar II, the royal family of Mysore was kept under house arrest. But the queen of Wodeyar, Lakshmi Ammani Devi constantly made efforts for restoration of the rule of Mysore royal family after looking at various atrocities committed on the hindu population by the government. She started negotiating with the british in 1760s with the help of her Pradhan, Tirumala Iyengar which resulted in the imprisonment of relatives of Tirumala Iyengar by Hyder Ali. These people were called as Mandyam Iyengars and they lived between Mandya and Srirangapatnam area, mainly in Melkote.
The Mandyam Iyengers were masters of Sanskrit. They spoke a distinct dialect of Tamil called Mandyam Tamil.
Tipu Sultan ruled his kingdom only for about sixteen years, from December 29, 1782 to May 4, 1799. The territory of Malabar was under his effective control only for a short period of eight years. His Divan by the name Purnaiyya had managed to gather some 90,000 soldiers, 3 crore rupees, and huge quantities of gold ornaments and precious stones from the Hindu population for Tipu.
Seeing this wealth Tipu wanted to rule South India and wanted to become an Emperor of India. Tipu had to defeat the British first to become an emperor. For this purpose, Tipu consulted many Hindu astrologers in Sri Ranganatha Swami temple at Srirangapatnam. These astrologers did not see Tipu becoming an emperor, but suggested that if some of the remedial Hindu rituals were performed; he could achieve his cherished ambition. Believing these sayings of the astrologers, Tipu performed all Hindu pujas in the Sri Ranaganatha Swami temple as suggested by the astrologers. This act is being widely interpreted by leftist and minority historians as the love and respect for Hindu religion and traditions by Tipu. But there is a long list of Hindu temples that were desecrated and razed down by Tipu and his army in South India mainly in Kodagu and Malabar. On the eve of his death there were only two Hindu temples left standing with in the Srirangapatanam fortress.
After Hyder’s death and tipu sultan becoming king , the Queen intensified her efforts to place a Wodeyar back on the throne of Mysore. When news of the Queen interacting with the British with help from Shamaiah Iyengar reached Tipu, he decided to take revenge. The agreement signed between the British General Harris of Madras and Tirumala iyengar further infuriated Tipu.
Tipu ordered his troops to round up all Mandyam Iyengars of Melkote, many of whom were relatives and friends of Tirumala iyengar, and he massacred them in cold blood.
The slaughter was on the day when the Mandyam Iyengars were getting ready to celebrate Naraka Chaturdashi. The celebrations turned into mourning. The cruelty inflicted on the innocents has parallel only to the christian Nazi concentration camps of the second world war.
The slaughter literally led to the death of Melkote. All people abandoned the temple city and it soon turned into a ghost town. The 29 Kalyanis in Melkote went to dust, water shortage became endemic and the hills browned and ……. Sanskrit lost a home.
To this day, the Mandyam Iyengars of Melkote do not celebrate Deepavali. Unfortunately, there is no mention of the despicable incident in any history book, but even now local folklore and a few accounts of the horrifying event still exist.
The Karnataka Brahmins belonging to community of the Mandyam Iyengars of Bharadwaja gothra observe Deepavali as a Dark Day

Never ever knew,of this of tippu, i am old mysorean just blindly grew up with pride for him,tq
My HEARTFELT Good Wishes for publishing this Video imparting TRUE and AUTHENTIC Knowledge. This is the REAL History which we were Devoid of and were Tried to Suppress by the Moron Historians and Rulers. FANTASTIC Job.✌✌.. Thank you so very much.... 👍👍🙂😊 🇮🇳जय हिन्द🇮🇳
How's that, are you masters in South Indian history? They can't teach you everything until you decide to persue the history of a particular region.
What would you do as a king if you learned that your enemy was forming an alliance behind your back (with the British in this case)?
@@SS33333what is South Indian history u fool? INDIAN history it is
This truth fact should come on screens as a movie in karnataka
Brahmano ko maar dena chahiye jaise kashmir mai maara tha
In Srirangpatan u see many ancient temples more than 800+ years then why did tipu didn't destroyed it...?? Why it is still exist..??
@@nawazbnr121bcoz our Mysuru Wadiyaru overthrew this Jih@di nd till we got independence nd states were formed they were ruling Mysuru
@@flame-u4g Wodeyars did not overthrow Tipu. British did and Wodeyars got back their kingdom by charity.
Thanx for this video sir 🙏
1. History does not record any such massacre by Tipu of Mandyam Iyenfars on the dipavali day. However two Mandyam Iyengars, Tirumala and Shamaiah were conspiring against Tipu in cahoots with the Queen of Mysore and the British and may be fearing that the Mandyam Iyengars had gathered at the Temple in order to prosecute their revolt against Tipu, he might have attacked them.
2. Cruelty by Chikka Deva Raja Wodeyar who killed more than 700 Jangams. P. 2445 of Mysore Gazetteer Vol. 2 Part 4. Wilks writes: A large pit had been previously prepared in a walled enclosure, connected by a series of squares composed of tent walls with the canopy of audience, at which they were successively received one at a time, and after making their obeisance were desired to retire to a place where, according to custom, they expected to find refreshments prepared at the expense of the. Raja. Expert executioners were in waiting in the square, and every individual in succession was so skillfully beheaded and tumbled into the pit as to give no alarm to those who followed, and the business of the public audience went on without interruption or suspicion. Circular orders had been sent for the destruction, on the same day, of all the Jangam mutts.
2. Only 4 Mandyam Iyengar families belonging to the Bharadvaja Gotra living in Melkote do not celebrate Dipavali but all others including Mandyam Iyengars do celebrate dipavali. Dipavali festival is celebrated even in their temple in Melkote.
I think you have to change the logo of your channel. 🤔.
Thank you very much 'pdf visuals' for the true information. 🙏
Today all Brahmins all over India should start observing diwali as black day to express solidarity with melukote Iyengar Brahmins.
Thanku 🙏🙏🙏
in kerala also he killed thousands of hindus😢
First we have to change our history
NCRT text taught us that he was a great freedom fighter, all false he was selfish, murderer and cruel follower of his prophet.
Yes
Most Informative video ...
Glad you think so!
Vaikkom Padmanabha Pillai one of Tippus bad luck, thats why in Kerala now also we put the name Tippu to our dogs. ( but dogs are loyal, and lovely )
Sad to hear what showcased us in serials and education is so fake....
Bharat Varsh project video topics are interesting however the graphics are off. In this video at 2:43 Tipu is shown with Basaveshwara the XII Century social reformer. However, the narrator says Tipu consulted astrologers. Showing Basaveshwara as an astrologer? This is unacceptable. Please remove Basavanna's picture from this video.
Sorry for the inaccuracies...Will rectify it..Thanks for pointing out
😢😢😢😢
hate mongers first u should know the reason y tipu army attacked them
Sorry it's the day TIPPU SULTAN FELL
😢😢😢🚩🚩🚩🚩🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️
The people worshipped vishnu but failed to worship Rudra-Shiva .
There is only one God. Shiva and Vishnu are the same. Let us not divide our faith. Time to unite as one. Please.
Shiva could not protect ravana or bhasmasura. Although both were great shiva devotees.
@@yogi8840 shiva doesn't protect if conduct is not good.
@Neelabh Samvatsar then what is the use of being a devotee of Shiva? if good qualities are not developed by becoming a devotee of shiva? This is the limitation of Shiva worship. Whereas one who worships Vishnu develops all good qualities and Ultimately gets protection from the Lord also. Protection not for body only. Mainly the soul from the cycle of birth and death.
@@yogi8840 🤔🤔🤔
Tipu harmi tha iski jalti ko kharb Kru
no record only world of mouth 4:50, this concludes all.
There's no record of your great grandfather and great grandmother, does that make you a bastard?
🐒
You mulla MC
What?
Even you are converted by sword is unrecorded but it is truth
This is the hatred seed sown by the British between the sanatanies and Muslims. Their (British) own historians have said that the day TIPPU SULTAN, in Britain Their was joy all over, exchanging toast and chanting INDIA is ours the same seed is this 🤯🤯🤯
Tipu was just a king not a representative of all Muslims
Don't over react
Again pointless crap. Muslim JHistorians including Tipu's Officials and Tipu himself debunk your evil white man crap. The hatred of Jihadis is what is erased by British to continue to subject Hindus to islamic atrocities.
It's fact...for reality you must visit that village..still today they not celebrate diwali...
Tum sb kisi muslim king ka naam sunte hi itne senti kyu ho jate ho ?? Relity ek dum accept nahi krte...
idk why indian muslims take side of invaders bruh wake up
Sab jhut hai.
