Comment: At the moment this draft uses a work of fiction (Tiger Claws) as a source, which makes me wonder if any of the other sources are being used appropriately. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:56, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

[12]Continuing the uprising against the Bijapur Sultanate or Adil Shahi dynasty of Deccan, Shivaji marched to Torna fort with his captains Tanaji Malusare, Netaji Palkar and Baji Phalaskar to capture the fort taking advantage of the illness[13] of the Adil Shahi Sultan, Mohammed Adil Shah.[14] The battle marks the strenghten of political power of Shivaji. Many historical sources mentions, the garrisons of the fort was so small (possibly, 100-200) that it was easy for the Marathas to capture it.
Background
[edit]Capture of Torna fort was the beggining of the realisation of his cherished Hindvi Swarajya.[15] In 1646, 16-19 years old Shivaji continues his insurgency against the Sultanate of Bijapur taking few advantages.[16] The Bijapuri Sultan, Mohammed Adil Shah fell in an illness.[17] The Torna fort had a small group of garrisons (possibly, 100-200 garrisons). But some mentions the size of the garrisons larger. Shivaji decided to capture the fort and marched to it accompanying with his trusted commanders.
Aftermath
[edit]Shivaji succeeded to capture the hill fortress of Torna which resulted as a victory for the Marathas.[18][19] He utilized the treasure of 2 lakhs hoons he obtained after the fort's capture in enhancing his military power and the reconstruction of the Rajgad fort.[20] As an action, the Sultan of Bijapur imprisoned the father of Shivaji, Shahaji Bhonsle in 1648 as his alleged conspiracy with Galconda at the time of war.[21][22][23] This condition resulted as dormancy in the insurgency led by Shivaji. He used the five years (1649-1655) to consolidate his army.[24][25] Shahji was released on 16th May 1649 after an imprisonment of almost 10 months.[26][27] Many sources claims, Shahji was freed after 3 to 4 years of imprisonment or released between 1653-1654.[28][29] But Shivaji didn't paused here completely, he captured several important forts including the fortresses of Purandar,[30] Kondhana[31] and Chakan[32] in that period.[33]
