Claim: Picture attached in the post shows the real photo of Tipu Sultan.
Fact-check: One photo is of Tippu Tip (African slave trader) and the other photo is not of Tipu Sultan present in 'The British Museum' - FACTLY
Verdict: the person in the photo is tippu tip and not tipu sultan. tippu tip  was a swahili-zanzibari slave trader from africa. tipu sultan  was the ruler of the kingdom of mysore from 1782-1799. in fact, the world's first photograph was taken in 1826 by a french scientist named joseph nicephore, tipu sultan was already dead by then. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
