Tanaji Malusare

Tanaji Malusare was a military assistant of Maratha ruler Shivaji. A local poet Tulsidas,[lower-alpha 1] wrote a powada describing Tanaji's heroics and sacrifice of life in the Battle of Sinhagad,[1] which has since made him a popular figure in Marathi folklore.[2][3][4][lower-alpha 2] He came from a Hindu Koli family.[6][7][8][9]
