In Search of the Punjabis and Pashtuns Who Destroyed The Parthenon

[Master Chief]

What happened frontier brosky? Disillutioned by weak kingdoms (dormats) of your region, you need to kang on an even weaker king who couldn't even establish himself as a ruler. Besides "held back foreigners?" Like who? Tipu in fact switched his abbu from British to French. Instead of saaar he went for Monsieur. It would be funny if we collectively spoke french instead of English eh?

Also an interesting input, one of the traitorous British collaborator was Nizam of Hyderabad and the other was Marathas. One stayed loyal to the British though and was well rewarded. No points for guessing who.

Yes, of course Nizam of Hyderabad is the provincial office you now reference as a loyal Maratha ally when it suits you. How was he to know of Operation Polo 150 odd years down the road? Still, maybe he was quietly suspicious of this ultimate fate that awaited his descendants..

As for Tipu, do elaborate on whether this French support was so significant that some bonnie Frenchman with a wig was actually the main belligerent in any Anglo-Mysorean war. Clue is in the name of these wars - on a similar note, i don't see them being referred to as the Franco-Maratha wars in any texts outside of your prestigious NCERT whatsapp syllabus.

Your "complaint" (if it can even be called that) is akin to accusing Ukrainians of being quasi-Americans just for using Patriot batteries and F16s.

1st - 4th Anglo-Mysore wars:









If we're being fair, it was a great supporting act by your saffron barhadari. Not enough to rename the conflict as "Maratha-Mysore wars", but still enough to earn a couple of statues next to those of the brave Sikh warriors who fought with the British against everyone. I should probably inform Hounslow or Leicester councils of this noble request.
