Haider Ali Kohari

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maulana Haider Ali Kohari (b.17th century-d.?) was a military general and secretary of the Maratha king Shivaji.[1]

He was one of the most trusted lieutenants of Shivaji and was involved in almost all of his early campaigns.[citation needed]

Haider Ali Kohari was probably the highest Muslim general in the Maratha army. Born in a Marathi-speaking Muslim family in the Deccan, he quickly took to arms and weaponry. Although he was a warrior, he was also a learned Islamic scholar. Information about his later years is obscure.[citation needed]
