Rango Narayan Orpe - Early Life

Early Life

It seems during 1659 Rango Narayan was the 'In charge' of the fort Vishalgad as Adilshahi General Afzalkhan sent a letter to him asking him to join his hands in the campaign against Shivaji. He also had given certain promises. However, Rango Narayan did not respond. Probably, he had already conspired with Shivaji because immediately after Afzalkhan's death and defeat Shivaji attached the fort to the proposed Maratha Empire in November, 1659. In the same year, Shivaji wrote a letter to Udhaji Ahir Rao, the then Killedar of the fort Vishalgad, ordering him to handover the charge of Karkhanisi to Rango Narayan. The sequence of incidences proves that Rango Narayan helped Shivaji for capturing the fort.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.
    Barbara Bowman (20th century)

    Do you know, Valerio, that even the least among all humans is so great that life is far too short to love him?
    Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
