Anaji Raghunath Malkare (Diplomat)

When Pantaji Gopinath informed Shivaji that Afzal Khan agreed to meet Shivaji at Pratapgad, Anaji was given very important responsibility of preparing venue at the base of Pratapgad for the meeting. It was Anaji's intelligent preparations which played important role in the strategy of war against Afzal Khan.
Anaji accompanied Shivaji in his southern expedition to Bhaganagar.
You may find his name referred as Anaji Raghunath in historical references.
