The Captivity of Mangalorean Catholics at Seringapatam (1784–1799) was a 15-year imprisonment of Mangalorean Catholics and other Christians at Seringapatam, in the Carnataca region of India by Tippu Sultan, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore. Estimates of the number of captives range from 30,000 to 80,000, but the generally accepted figure is 60,000, as stated by Tipu in the Sultan-ul-Tawarikh. The captivity was the most disconsolate period in the community's history.

Pembuangan umat Katolik Mangalore di Seringapatam (1784–1799) adalah penahanan umat Katolik Mangalore dan penganut Kristen lainnya selama 15 tahun di wilayah Canara oleh Tipu Sultan, penguasa de facto Kerajaan Mysore. Perkiraan jumlah orang yang dibuang adalah dari 30,000 sampai 80,000 namun umumnya menyebut angka 60,000, seperti yang disebutkan oleh Tipu dalam Sultan-ul-Tawarikh. Pembuangan tersebut adalah masa paling menyedihkan dalam sejarah komunitas tersebut. Penyebabnya dipersengketakan, meskipun kebanyakan sejarawan menyatakan bahwa peristiwa tersebut terjadi karena alasan politik ketimbang alasan agama, dengan tuduhan persekongkolan antara umat Katolik Mangalore dan Inggris pada masa Perang Inggris-Mysore II (1780–1784).

Several thousand Christians in the dominion of Tipu Sultan had often in past years represented to him the discomfort attending the due exercise of their religion. He had hitherto paid no manner of regard to their supplications. Nevertheless, the present state of affairs in his extensive empire had inclined his heart to mercy and not to harshness. Wherefore he had dispatched these his trusty messengers who might convey the words of his mouth in all variety, begging the Governor and the Archbishop not to refuse every needful exertion towards succoring their brethren Christians according to the obligations of their religion. And he would as soon as might be convenient rebuild at his own expense the Churches that the fate decreed agents of destruction had levelled to the ground.

The Captivity of Mangalorean Catholics at Seringapatam (1784–1799) was a 15-year imprisonment of Mangalorean Catholics and other Christians at Seringapatam, in the Carnataca region of India by Tippu Sultan, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore. Estimates of the number of captives range from 30,000 to 80,000, but the generally accepted figure is 60,000, as stated by Tipu in the Sultan-ul-Tawarikh. The captivity was the most disconsolate period in the community's history. The Mangalorean Catholic community in Mangalore flourished during the regime of Tipu's father, Hyder Ali. Soon after Tipu inherited the territory in January 1784, he issued orders to seize the Christians in Canara, confiscate their estates, and deport them to Seringapatam. His orders were carried out on 24 February 1784. Twenty thousand Christians died during the journey from South Canara to Seringapatam. The Christians of Canara suffered extreme hardships, torture, and executions. Many converted in captivity to Sunni Islam as practiced by the Ottoman Caliphate, whose approval and assistance was sought by Tippu Sultan. The captivity brought the once flourishing Christian community in Mangalore close to extermination. It ended when Tippu was killed on 4 May 1799 at the Siege of Seringapatam, led by the English East India Company and its Indian allies. Of the 60,000–80,000 Christians taken captive, only 15,000–20,000 both survived and retained their original faith. The captivity left an impact on the literature of Mangalorean Catholics. The bi-centennial anniversary of the Christians' release from captivity was commemorated across the South Canara area on 4 May, 1999.

Komunitas Katolik Mangalore di Mangalore berkembang pada masa rezim ayah Tipu, Hyder Ali. Setelah Tipu mewarisi wilayah tersebut Januari 1784, ia mengeluarkan perintah untuk menangkap para penganut Kristen di Canara, merampas tempat tinggal mereka, dan mengusir mereka ke Seringapatam. Perintah tersebut ia keluarkan pada 24 Februari 1784. Dua puluh ribu penganut Kristen tewas pada saat perjalanan dari Mangalore ke Seringapatam. Pada masa pembuangan tersebut, mereka mengalami penderitaan, penyiksaan, pembunuhan, dan penganiayaan sementara beberapa penganut Kristen dipaksa berpindah ke agama Islam. Peristiwa tersebut baru berakhir ketika Tipu dibunuh oleh Inggris saat Pertempuran Seringapatam pada 4 Mei 1799, saat Perang Inggris-Mysore Keempat. Dari 60,000–80,000 penganut Kristen yang ditangkap, hanya 15,000–20,000 orang yang bertahan hidup dan masih memegang kepercayaan asli mereka. Peristiwa tersebut memiliki dampak yang mendalam pada . Peringatan dua ratus tahun pembebasan penganut Kristen dari penangkapan tersebut dirayakan di wilayah tersebut pada 4 Mei 1999.
