God bless you for your kind act. But I think it the moral duty of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi Governments to do something fruitful for the decedent of Emperor Badahar Shah Zafar. Also try to shift his body from Rangoon to Delhi, Lahore or Dhaka as he deserved for his Motherland ' The Subcontinent" Dear Shivnath ji

Perhaps it has been been deleted. I repeat it here for your and other persons too : Sultana Begum, 103/12/C, Foreshore Road, Shibpur, Howrah-711 102 (West Bengal) India. Her mobile phone number is 098319-32545. e-mail : moghulbegum@yahoo.co.in. I am a journalist. I have writteen about her in 1980 in detail with many photographs. Government of India India recognises her as the legal and direst descendent (in son's linage), but is giving her a political pension of Rs.400/- only. She is in dire need of financial help as her aging body needs medicines and treatment. She welcomes everybody who steps at her 6'x11' resident. I talked to her about you. She would be happy if you visit her. Thank you Parbant Singh Maihari e-mail : parbantsinghmaihari@yahoo.co.in Mobile : 098315-81924 (India Dear Pallabi Debi,

Does anybody know the current situation of Tipu Sultan's family? Where do the live in Calcutta? At least no one can question Tipu Sultan's patriotism and his descendants were hard working. As much I know about them (from reading), they did business and did well, bought many properties , rent and lease those but now the tenets are behaving like the owner. And they don't have anything to hire a lawyer. Please inform me their current address or situation if anybody knows. Hello guys
