A scalpel-cut incisive , in-depth reasearch on first the Saraswath Braahmans and secondly theeir conversion to, fate of and present status of Mangalorean Roman Catholics. I, a Saraswath Braahman myself, came to know for the first time how my ancestors migrated from the Steppes of Central Asia to Mangaluru. It's been quite a journey. Also a heart-rending description of the fate of Roman Catholics under the reign of Tipu Sultan. If we forget this part of our history we will bot be forgiven! Kudos Alan!!
