Population
It is difficult to ascertain the population of MKBs as even caste based census is not conducted in India let alone sub castewise census. However, based on the community organizations and census conducted by British, it can be estimated at 30,000 to 35,000. (According to British census records in the middle of 19th century the number of MKBs were rounghly around 7500 to 8000 with 5/6th of them living in Mysore, Mandya and Chamarajanagar districts)

—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
“What happened at Hiroshima was not only that a scientific breakthrough ... had occurred and that a great part of the population of a city had been burned to death, but that the problem of the relation of the triumphs of modern science to the human purposes of man had been explicitly defined.”

“This was the Eastham famous of late years for its camp- meetings, held in a grove near by, to which thousands flock from all parts of the Bay. We conjectured that the reason for the perhaps unusual, if not unhealthful development of the religious sentiment here, was the fact that a large portion of the population are women whose husbands and sons are either abroad on the sea, or else drowned, and there is nobody but they and the ministers left behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
