Answer:
Explanation:
Before the East India company rule, Ramoshis use to work under Maratha's rule. These Ramoshis used to work for surveillance of the Maratha region and for the security of Maratha forts in Maharashtra during the Maratha period. The Ramoshi(s) were entrusted with night patrolling and policing by the Marathas. Because of this work they had the right to take taxes from few specific villages. But after the defeat of the Maratha kingdom by the British, this right got violated because of which Ramoshis started a struggle against the Britishers.[2]
Soon after the fall of the Maratha empire, Naik raised a tiny army against Britishers.[citation needed] In 1826, Naik declared himself a king. In 1831 he spread his command, with a proclamation to kill British infantry and cavalry and to loot their property. Naik lived in the mountains of Satara, Kurud, Mand Devi Kalbai's mountain, Khopoli Khandala and Borghat during his struggle against British Raj. He issued his stamp in which he wrote: "Umajiraje Naik, Mukkam Dongar" (lit. 'King Umaji, lives in Mountains').
