    BA Semester VI- Maratha History 1707-1818 AD (HISKB 602) Dr. Mukesh Kumar (Department of History) KMC Language University Lucknow, U.P.-226013 UNIT-I Chhatrapati Shahu- Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj also known as Rajarshi Shahu was considered a true democrat and social reformer. First Maharaja of the princely state of Kolhapur, he was an invaluable gem in the history of Maharashtra. Greatly influenced by the contributions of social reformer Jyotiba Phule, Shahu Maharaj was an ideal leader and able ruler who was associated with many progressive and path breaking activities during his rule. From his coronation in 1894 till his demise in 1922, he worked tirelessly for the cause of the lower caste subjects in his state. Primary education to all regardless of caste and creed was one of his most significant priorities. He was born Yeshwantrao in the Ghatge family in Kagal village of the Kolhapur district as Yeshwantrao Ghatge to Jaisingrao and Radhabai in June 26, 1874. Jaisingrao Ghatge was the village chief, while his wife Radhabhai hailed from the royal family of Mudhol. Young Yeshwantrao lost his mother when he was only three. His education was supervised by his father till he was 10-year-old. In that year, he was adopted by Queen Anandibai, widow of Kingh Shivaji IV, of the princely state of Kolhapur. Although the adoption rules of the time dictated that the child must have Bhosale dynasty blood in his vein, Yeshwantrao’s family background presented a unique case. He completed his formal education at the Rajkumar College in Rajkot and took lessons of administrative affairs from Sir Stuart Fraser, a representative of the Indian Civil Services.

    CHAPTER 2 Review of Literature The Western region of Nfaharashtra is known for the extreme diverse ecological habitats and geographical features (Bawa et ai, 2007). The region has distinct climatic zones separated from each other by mountain barriers and thus has different vegetation patterns. The Western Maharashtra is divided in to 3 major regions, namely, Konkan, Sahyadri (Western Ghats of Maharashtra) and Deccan Plateau. Each region has its own biodiversity with a dominance of a species particularly suited to the habitat it occupies (Mahabale, 1987). Two distinct features of Western Maharashtra are ‘Ghats’ and ‘Hill forts’ all along the ranges of Sahyadri (Singh and Karthikeyan, 2000). The forts are historically important and play a paramount role; one in the foundation, expansion and preservation of ‘Maratha’ power and the second in sustaining unique type of vegetation and ecosystems on and around them (Santapau 1951, 1958, 1967, Billore andHemadri, 1972; Naik, 1998). The study of vegetation on forts is important as these places are unique from geographical point of view and are reservoirs of vegetation and lithophytes. Various ecosystem services rendered by the forts remain pretermitted over the period of time. Each fort has significant contributions in the form of different vegetation patterns, species diversity and variations in the ecosystems. Very few notable attempts were made to carry out the vegetation patterns on forts and the ecosystems around them (Birdwood, 1899; Santapau, 1951, 1958, 1967; Vartak, 1953, 1957, 1983; Cherian
