Following Tipu's defeat and death in the Siege of Seringapatam (1799) by the British, the Nizam of Hyderabad& other allies, the community resettled in South Canara during East India Company rule.Īlthough early assertions of a distinct identity date from the migration period, a developed Mangalorean Catholic identity only emerged after the captivity. Their 15-year-long captivity at Seringapatam imposed by Tippu Sultan, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, almost led the community to decimation. They learned Tulu and Kannada whilst in South Canara, but retained the Konkani and preserved much of their Konkani ways of living, which had undergone Christianisation in Goa. They are Konkani people and speak the Konkani language.Ĭontemporary Mangalorean Catholics descend mainly from the New Christians of Portuguese Goa and Damaon, who migrated to South Canara between 15 throughout the course of the Goan Inquisition, Portuguese– Adil Shahi wars, and the Mahratta Sackings of Goa and Bombay-Bassein. Mangalorean Catholics ( Konknni Kodialchein Katholik) are an ethno-religious community of Indian Catholics adhering to the Latin Rites of worship, from the Mangalore diocese (in the erstwhile South Canara area) by the southwestern coast of Carnataca.
