Talk:Captivity of Mangalorean Catholics at Seringapatam

Jamalabad fort, way to Srirangapatnam????
In the article it is mentioned that Jamalabad fort steps was the route the Mangalorean Catholics had travel on their way to Srirangapatnam. How can this be possible when those steps lead to the hill top. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skbhat (talk • contribs) 10:39, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No! Jamalabad Fort was a waiting point. There was a camp in the area. Those steps do not lead to Seringapatam. Joyson Noel  Holla at me!  13:07, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Genocide
More than half of the captives were massacred by Tipu's army. Then why on earth this article is titled "Captivity"? It should be titled something like, say, "Genocide of Mangalorean Catholics" or something similar. - Thazhemon (talk) 01:42, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Edits
I will be removing (or contradicting) many of the sources based on the viewpoints espoused in the most reliable (and recent) evaluation of the subject —— Noting that this article has been also cited as a recent review of the claim of the ‘captivity’ and conversion of Canara Christians by Janaki Nair. None of the cited scholarship are by historians, so reputed or over venues, so reputed. TrangaBellam (talk) 11:46, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Believe it or not, there is even a journal on Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations! A paper here points out that Tipu Sultan did not single out only Canara Christians, but he also aksed all Christians in his territories and conquered territories to convert to Islam. He even asked the soldiers of his all-Christian battalion to convert. When the commander refused, he reduced the numbers in the battalion and eventually forced out the commander. The author concludes:
