 ==Battle of Sinhagad==
 {{main|Battle of Sinhagad}}
-[[Sinhagad]] (formerly known as Kondhana) was one of the first forts which [[Shivaji|Chhatrapati Shivaji]] re-captured from the [[Mughal Empire]]. The capture was made possible by scaling the walls at night with ladders made of rope. A fight followed in which Tanhaji was killed but the fort was won.
+Kondhana, outside [[Pune]], was one of the first forts that [[Shivaji]] wanted to re-capture from the [[Mughal Empire]], after the truce between the two parties broke down in 1670. Tanaji was asked to lead the task. Legend says that Tanaji agreed to lead even though that meant postponing his son's wedding.<ref>{{cite book|title=Perspectives in Indian History: From the Origins to AD 1857|author=M.
