Deputy Mayor Shan-e-Hind Nihal Ahmed defends displaying Tipu Sultan’s portrait as a personal tribute, emphasizing socialist values and the right to honor role models, while affirming official symbols belong in municipal spaces.
Malegaon Deputy Mayor Shan-e-Hind Nihal Ahmed defended keeping a portrait of 18th-century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan in her office, saying it reflects her socialist ideals and the right to honor personal role models.
The image was temporarily removed for renovations and will be reinstalled.
She stressed that the municipal administration, not staff, should display official national icons like Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.
Tipu Sultan’s legacy remains contested due to his military resistance against British rule and his treatment of certain communities.
