Tipu Sultan's 'Lord Rama' Ring Claim Ignites New Controversy

• AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi claims Tipu Sultan wore a gold ring inscribed with 'Ram', found near his body after his death.
• Owaisi suggests this indicates Tipu's love for the Hindu religion and that the ring was later auctioned.
• The claim comes amidst a renewed debate on Tipu Sultan's legacy, with Hindutva groups portraying him as anti-Hindu and admirers as a revolutionary.
• Congress state president Harshvardhan Sapkal equated Tipu Sultan with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, drawing protests from Hindutva organizations.
• CM Devendra Fadnavis criticized Sapkal, stating Tipu Sultan massacred Hindus, and comparing him to Shivaji Maharaj is unacceptable.
