² [Forcible circumcision was a method adopted on many occasions by Tipū. When Mangalore reverted to Tipū, many thousands of native Christians were thus treated and deported to Seringapatam. A revolt in Coorg resulted in the same treatment of the bulk of the inhabitants. See Wilks’s Sketches, &c., ii. 100, for an account of the circumcision of the Kanara Christians; L. Rice, Mysore Gazetteer, ii. 399; Thurston, E.N.S.I., pp. 385 ff.]
