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)
This is quite a long document, but it appears to be well referenced and well illustrated. I will therefore go through the article in more depth, section by section, but leaving the WP:Lead until last. This might take a few days. Pyrotec ( talk) 21:11, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

At this point I'm only concentrating on "problems" and ignoring the good points - they will be covered in the final summary.

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)
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 —— K.M., Lokesh (2008).
"THE CAPTIVITY OF THE CANARA CHRISTIANS UNDER TIPU SULTAN: A STUDY IN THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE CATHOLIC OF CANARA".
Proceedings of the Indian History Congress. 69: 475–485.
ISSN
2249-1937. 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.

In the light of this information, it seems incorrect to suggest that Tipu ill-treated only the Christians of Canara.[18] Tipu seems rather to have adopted an almost uniform policy towards Christians.... Nevertheless, it is no doubt plausible that Tipu, when he heard, saw and believed that the Christians, whether European or Indian, were siding with the English or were not overtly sympathetic to his cause, would have been convinced that the war he waged against the English was two-pronged: on the one hand against the political colonization of south India and on the other against the spiritual advances made by Christianity. In fact, Tipu would have become aware by direct experience in Canara and Tamilnadu of the irrefutable historical fact that many Christian converts and their descendants were more eager to side with the English than to join with him to throw them out.
