Tipu Sultan's ring
Tipu Sultan's ring _ Tipu Sultan died in 1799 fighting against the British. Later he was accused of stealing a ring. According to various media reports, the ring was later auctioned in the UK and sold for £145,000.
Used by Tipu Sultan, the Muslim ruler of the southern Indian state of Mysore, the ring bore the names of the seventh incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu and King Rama of Ayodhya in Devanagari script. Tipu Sultan fought bravely against the British. So he was called Sher-i-Mysore.
It is believed that the ring was taken from the body of Tipu Sultan, who was killed in a battle with the East India Company in the village of Srirangapatnam in 1799.
According to information published on Christie's website, the ring weighs 41.2 grams.
Earlier in April 2009, a portion of Tipu Sultan's gold throne was auctioned at the Indian and Islamic Art Sale.In the same year, another ornament of Tipu Sultan was sold for 400,000 pounds.
S. Settar, a professor at the National Institute of Advanced Studies in India, objected to the sale of Tipu Sultan's ring at auction.Earlier this month, India requested to take all legal and diplomatic measures to recover the ring. Earlier in 2012, the ring was auctioned by Christie's. In the face of objections, the auction of the ring was stopped.
What was written on Tipu Sultan's ring?
The importance of the ring is that it is believed to have the name of the Hindu god Rama engraved on it in Devanagari script.
However, it will be known if the ring is actually written 'Ram' or not, if the ring is recovered. The Indian government is trying to wait for that.
