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:
“The shift from the perception of the child as innocent to the perception of the child as competent has greatly increased the demands on contemporary children for maturity, for participating in competitive sports, for early academic achievement, and for protecting themselves against adults who might do them harm. While children might be able to cope with any one of those demands taken singly, taken together they often exceed children’s adaptive capacity.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
