His previous books include a history of the Mangalorean community (*Sarasvati's Children*) and a novel (*Shades Within Shadows*). Synopsis: Haidar Ali's and Tipu Sultan's policy towards Goa and their Kanara Christian subjects were dramatically different. Haidar kept his channels to Goa open as a means of obtaining supplies and expertise from Goa to build up his army and navy.

Christians, Konkani, Tamil, and Kannada speaking, throughout the sultanat-i-khudadad were deported to Srirangapatna, and deprived of their right to live as Christians.
