Suryaji Malusare was the younger brother of Tanaji Malusare.^[1]^[2]^[3] He is known for his contribution after the death of Tanaji in the Battle of Sinhagad. He was made Subhedar of Mavala forces after the death of Tanaji Malusare.^[4]^[5]

Early Life

Suryaji Malusare was the younger brother of Tanaji Malusare born to his father Kaloji Malusare. Just like Tanaji, Suryaji also helped Shivaji in his^[6] revolt and was a prominent sardar under him.

Military career

Battle of Sinhagad

In 1670, a force consisting of five hundred Mavala soldiers launched a surprise night assault on the fort, defended by twelve hundred Rajput soldiers under Udaybhan Rathod's command. During the battle, Tanaji, and Udaybhan fought with swords and both perished in the duel. After Tanaji was killed, his brother Suryaji commanded the remaining Mavalas since Tanaji was dead. A signal flame was lighted on high upon the fort to inform Shivaji of their victory from Rajgad.^[7]

Later career

After the Fall of Sinhagad, the Marathas captured Purandar and other lost fortresses under Suryaji Malusare.^[8] Suryaji also accompanied Shivaji in this southern Campaign.^[9]
