[1][2] Netoji Palkar was born in the small village of Chouk in Khalapur, Maharashtra, India, into a Marathi Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhu family.

[3] Netaji's father held a prominent position as a major Jagirdar in Western Maharashtra under the Adil Shahi dynasty.

[5] He significantly disrupted the Mughal territories until the year 1665, and his failure to communicate the actions of Jai Singh and Dilerkhan left Shivaji deeply disappointed.

[6] After Shivaji's escape from Agra, Aurangzeb, seeking retribution, issued an order to Jai Singh to apprehend Netaji Palkar.

Subsequently, on the battlefields of Kandahar and Kabul, he fought on behalf of the Mughals against insurgent Pashtuns, thus earning the trust and favor of Aurangzeb.

Consequently, following a decade of captivity under the Mughal rule, Netaji presented himself at the court of Chhatrapati Shivaji, requesting reintegration into the Hindu faith.
