Tipu Sultan Jayanti: Twitterati Divided On The Mysore Ruler
The Karnataka government is celebrating the birth anniversary of erstwhile Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan. Though protests and support is growing for the celebrations, the twitterati is apparently more divided than ever before on the subject.
Here are a few tweets to give an insight into public mood on Tipu Sultan Jayanti celebrations:
