Fair policies
Tipu recruited people to services strictly on the basis of merit, and on no other
considerations. In one of his letters, he clearly says that
irrespective of caste, creed or colour, God confers power on those who are worthy of his
trust. He imposed strict restrictions on those Muslim saints who
aimed at attracting followers to their own ways of religious thought. He stopped some of
those customs which the Muslims practiced during the month of Muharram. He
introduced prohibition in the state by which all his subjects, Hindus, Muslims and
Christians, were prevented from taking liquor.
