He also remarked that in the Fourth Mysore War, Tipu was defeated due to the betrayal of Mir Sadiq. "If Mir Sadiq hadn’t betrayed him and the armory hadn’t been damaged, Tipu would not have lost," he claimed. Rajanna credited Tipu with introducing sericulture to the state, stating, "Tipu brought silkworm eggs from Persia. Muslims in Ramanagara and surrounding areas are heavily involved in sericulture."
