Answer 1

Answer:

By killing Afzalkhan Shivaji Maharaj capture Rairi fort.

Explanation:

• In the 12th century, the Maratha clan Shirke had their headquarters in the fort, which was formerly known as Rairi.
• The Bahamini dynasty, the Nizamshahis, and later the Adilshahis all had control of the fort at various points.
• Chhatrapati Shivaji took control of it in 1656 from the Mores of Javli, who were subject to the Adilshahi Sultanate.
• The fort not only enabled Shivaji to challenge the Adilshahi dynasty's dominance, but it also made it possible for him to expand his influence by opening up routes to Konkan.
• When Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was crowned as the ruler of a Maratha Kingdom in 1674, that kingdom gradually expanded into the Maratha Empire, which eventually controlled a large portion of western and central India.
• He took control of the Raigad Fort and made it his capital.
