It provides accounts from Christian missionaries, historians, and Muslim officials describing large-scale massacres of Hindus, destruction of Hindu temples, and the enslavement and forced conversion of Hindus under Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali's rule. The document argues that constructing memorials for Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali would insult the Tamil people given the persecution of Hindus that occurred during their time.
U shaped valley
U shaped valleys are formed when glaciers erode and widen existing V-shaped river valleys, leaving behind a wider U-shape. Glaciers overdeepen and scour the sides and bottom of valleys, changing their original V-shape formed by rivers into a broader U-shape through erosion.
Genghis khan and_mongols
Genghis Khan united the Mongol tribes and built a vast empire through conquest. He was tolerant of different religions and his military strategies of feigned retreat and attacks on horseback allowed him to defeat larger armies. After his death, the Mongol Empire continued expanding under other leaders but grew too large to manage and eventually fractured into khanates. The empire had both positive impacts like increased trade and negative ones as many regions suffered destruction from Mongol invasions.
Hijrah
1) Hijrah is obligatory for those unable to manifest or establish their religion and able to migrate.
2) It is not obligatory for those with difficulty migrating, like the weak, sick, or those forced to remain.
3) It is recommended for those able to practice their religion where they are.
4) The Prophet (SAW) and companions migrated to escape persecution in Makkah and establish Islam freely in Madina with Muslim protection. This set the example for obligatory hijrah.

river delta impact (For Geography)
The document describes the formation of deltas. As a river reaches the sea, it deposits sediments, building up the river mouth and causing the river to split into distributaries. Over time, accumulated sediments rise above the water level, forming a delta where the river meets the sea. It also discusses how meanders form through a river's winding course as it seeks to avoid obstacles at a low gradient, eroding the outer concave bank and depositing sediments to form slip-off slopes on the inner convex bank. Rivers provide benefits like water and food but can also negatively impact people through flooding and spreading disease.
Tipu sultan the tiger of mysore
Tipu Sultan was a legendary ruler of Mysore who opposed British rule in South India in the late 18th century. He fought the British in the First and Second Anglo-Mysore Wars and dictated terms to the British in subsequent treaties. After his father Hyder Ali died, Tipu became the ruler of Mysore and focused on advancing his military, especially Mysorean rockets. However, the British remained a threat and the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799 resulted in Tipu's death during the Battle of Srirangapatna, bringing British rule to Mysore.
Tipu sultan
Tipu Sultan, known as the Tiger of Mysore, was a ruler in late 18th century India who opposed British colonial rule. He fought four wars against the British East India Company between 1767-1799. Though initially successful, Tipu Sultan was eventually defeated when the British launched a final invasion in 1799. During the siege of Seringapatam, Tipu Sultan was killed while defending his capital city. He left a legacy as a skilled warrior and leader who fought bravely for Indian independence.
Delta
A delta forms when a river enters a standing body of water and its velocity decreases, causing sediment deposition. As fresh river water mixes with salt water, flocculation occurs, causing fine particles to sink out of suspension. Deltas form where deposition exceeds sediment removal. Deltas are composed of topset, foreset, and bottomset beds and can be arcuate, bird's foot, or cuspate shapes.
Delta’s
Deltas form where rivers enter standing bodies of water and experience a drop in velocity, causing sediment deposition. Sediment is deposited in three layers - topset beds of larger particles, foreset beds of medium particles, and bottomset beds of finest particles. Delta shapes include arcuate, birds foot, and cuspate. The Nile Delta is an example of an arcuate delta with its curving shoreline. The Mississippi Delta resembles a birds foot with distributary fingers. The Ebro River Delta in Spain has a cuspate, tooth-like shape from opposing currents.
Corries
The document describes the formation of cirques and corrie lakes through glacial erosion processes. At high altitudes, snow accumulates in hollows and is compressed into firn and eventually ice by additional snowfall. The weight of the ice causes it to erode the surrounding bedrock through plucking and abrasion, widening the hollow over time into a characteristic armchair shape. Weathering further down also contributes to erosion. As the glacier melts, a corrie lake sometimes remains behind, contained by the rock lip formed from deposited debris.

Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan was born in 1162-1167 in Mongolia and became a powerful tribal leader and king. He united the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia and created the largest contiguous empire in history. Genghis Khan was a fierce warrior who conquered many lands through military victories but also established schools, cities, and shared his wealth with his people. He is still remembered today through monuments, places named after him, and for transforming Mongolia into a major power.
Genghis khan
Genghis Khan, originally named Temujin, united many tribes in Mongolia and went on to build a massive empire through military conquest. After his father was poisoned by a rival tribe, Temujin worked to become the leader of his tribe. He married Borte and had four sons. By the age of 20, Temujin had built a large army and began conquering surrounding lands, taking the name Genghis Khan. His Mongol Empire eventually became the largest contiguous empire in history and included parts of China, Central Asia, Middle East and Europe.
Genghis khan
Genghis Khan founded the Mongol Empire, one of the largest and most powerful empires in history. He conquered vast territories across Asia, including all of China and areas west to Afghanistan before dying while battling another group. The Mongols succeeded through tactical brilliance and psychological warfare. They studied their enemy's weaknesses and used maneuvers like feigned retreats to draw opponents into traps. Through continued expansion after Genghis Khan's death led by his progeny, the Mongol Empire reached its peak under Kublai Khan in the late 13th century, becoming the largest contiguous empire in world history.
Tipu sultan
Tipu Sultan was a ruler of Mysore in late 18th century India who fought vigorously against British colonialism. He modernized his army with French assistance and developed advanced rocket technology. Tipu corresponded with foreign leaders seeking support against the British but ultimately failed to secure sufficient aid. Despite accusations of mistreating Hindus, historical accounts indicate Tipu donated generously to Hindu temples and instituted religious tolerance. He was an innovative leader who helped develop Mysore's economy, infrastructure, and horticulture. However, Tipu was eventually defeated by the British in battle and died defending his kingdom of Srirangapatna in 1799.
genghis khan
Temujin was born around 1165 in Mongolia and later became known as Genghis Khan. As a child, his father was poisoned and he became the chief of his tribe. By 1205, through forming alliances and organizing an army with strict discipline, he had vanquished all rivals. The following year, he was proclaimed Chinggis Khan and united the steppe tribes under one nation. As ruler, Genghis Khan established laws and policies to suppress causes of warfare between tribes and granted religious freedom. Through his military strategy and tactics, he went on to conquer much of Eurasia over the next two decades, creating the largest contiguous land empire in history.
