‘Misery of History,’ a 30-minute documentary film directed by Abbas
Panakkal, a Kozhikode-based freelance writer and mediaperson, is an attempt to
revisit the legacy of the warrior Tipu Sultan while also looking into the present status of
his descendants.
Not many know that the descendants of Tippu, the last ruler of
India strong enough to dictate terms to the British East India Company, is
still alive in Kolkata.
The ‘Misery of
History’ is a journey the director takes up with a few historians of
repute such as B. Sheik Ali and K.K.N. Kurup to the historical sites (Mysore
& Kolkata), museums (Victoria and Albert Museum in London), and monuments
related to the ruler as well as to the places where
his descendants live now.
All are
invited
