Ramsej Fort saw the war against the Mughal Empire for six and a half years. The first killedar (fort commander) was Suryaji Jadhav, but after five and a half years he was transferred and a new killedar was appointed as per the rotation of posts policy of the Maratha Empire. In April 1682, Aurangzeb sent Sahabuddin Khan who attacked the fort.[1] Shahbuddin Khan had vowed to capture the fort with his 40,000 army and strong artillery within a few hours.
