_”To live like a lion for a day is far better than to live for a hundred years like a jackal.”_
Tipu Sultan (Sultan Fateh Ali Sahab Tipu)
Today on Heritage Times we take you down the historical lanes of the city of Patna, where laid to rest is great grandson of Tipu Sultan; Shehzada Muhammad Kareem Shah.
Watch this special feature by our Researcher/Reporter Ali Fraz Rezvi, as he explains the lineage, the decendant downfall and many more unknown aspects of Shehzada Muhammad Kareem Shah from his place of burial.
Among all the legendary personalities buried in the city of Patna, there exists a chapter of Mysore’s history in an unimaginable grave at Meetanghat, Patna. In the compound of Khanqah Bargah-e-Ishq Takiya Shareef—where rests the great Sufi mystic and poet of the 18th century, Shah Rukn-ud-Din Ishq Azimabadi—exists the burial place of Shahzada Karim Shah, the great-grandson of Tipu Sultan.
He was a man of mystic inclination and was thus affiliated to the Khanqah of Hazrat Ishq Azimabadi, through his pir, Syed Shah Khwaja Amjad Hussain Saheb. He died in Patna in 1915, and Shamshad, a poet, composed a Persian inscription of 10 lines for his tombstone.
A careful inspection reveals that several tombs are scattered across the city of Patna; some are fortunate to bear a name or a tombstone while the others remain deserted and ignored.
