I would like to change the phrasing of these lines " Mangalore ranked India's 13th place in top business destination and in Karnataka it is second after Bangalore. Mangalore is growing like Dubai of South India in terms of highrise buildings & skyscrapers. The city houses some of the tallest buildings in South India. India's first 3D planetarium with 8K resolution display is located in the city" to make it sound more academic. Wikivaith (talk) 12:48, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Religious Persecutions in Mangalore
Mangalore has witnessed several periods of religious persecution throughout history, impacting different communities at various times.
Persecution of Mangalorean Catholics (1784–1799)
During the rule of Tipu Sultan, Mangalorean Catholics faced severe persecution. In 1784, following Tipu Sultan’s conquest of Mangalore, approximately 60,000 Catholics were forcibly deported to Seringapatam, where they endured forced conversions, imprisonment, and executions.[1] Several churches were destroyed, including Milagres Church (Mangalore), Rosario Cathedral, and St. Joseph’s Church.[2] Many survivors returned only after Tipu Sultan’s death in 1799.
Attacks on Hindu Temples
Similarly, Hindu communities in Mangalore faced temple destruction and forced conversions. Several temples, including the Kadri Manjunath Temple and Sri Venkataramana Temple were damaged or attacked.[3] The Sringeri Sharada Peetham, a significant Hindu monastic institution, was looted and desecrated, leading the Maratha Peshwa to fund its restoration.[4]
These events have shaped Mangalore’s historical and religious landscape, influencing cultural and communal dynamics in the region. Calmjelly24 (talk) 04:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
