== Background ==
{{main|Battle of Sinhagad}}
According to the historian David Hardiman, [[Koli people|Koli]]s were the early helpers of [[Shivaji]] in a revolt. Tanaji Malusare is one such prominent example whose name is memorizalized due to his act of capturing the fort of Singhad and handing it to Shivaji.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hardiman|first=David|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8EsfAQAAIAAJ|title=Feeding the Baniya: Peasants and Usurers in Western India|date=1996|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-563956-8|pages=221|language=en|quote=When Shivaji began his revolt in the following decade, the Kolis were amongst the first to join him under the leadership of the Sirnayak Khemi and they played a leading role in helping Shivaji to consolidate his power.

[[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.
