KOLHAPUR

"The Rajas of Kolhapur represent the younger branch of the family of the great Sevaji, as the Rajas of Sattara represent the elder. In 1700, after the death of Rajaram, Sevaji's younger son, who exercised supremacy during his nephew Sahu's captivity, his widow, Tara Bai, placed her son, Sevaji, in power. But in 1708, Sahu was restored to his rights. Thus there were two Rajas, each claiming the sovereignty. Sahu fixed his capital at Sattara; and Sevaji at Kolhapur. Supported by several powerful Chiefs, the Kolhapur family long maintained their pretensions to supremacy in the Mahratta federation ; but by a treaty, in 1731, they were compelled to yield precedence to their kinsmen at Sattara ; yet their possessions at Kolhapur were, at the same time, recognised as forming an independent principality. On the death of Rajaram's younger son, Sambhaji, the descendants of the great Sevaji, became extinct, and a boy was adopted, who was seventh in descent from Sevaji's grandfather, Maloji Raja Bhonsle. This adopted son, Sevaji II., ruled for fifty-three years. In 1765, the prevalence of piracy compelled the British Government to direct an expedition against Kolhapur, which resulted in the conclusion of a commercial treaty. The terms of this engagement were, however, not complied with, and it was necessary to threaten the State with another expedition before the Chief was brought to his senses.

"In 1817, (Shambhu) Aba Sahib, who succeeded Sevaji II., sided with the British in the campaign against the Peishwa. He was murdered in 1821; and the succession devolved upon his brother (Shahaji) Bawa Sahib. This weak and dissolute ruler signed a treaty in 1826, engaging to follow the advice of the British Government, and rule with equity: but failing to observe its stipulations, Government found it necessary to visit him with a mark of its grave displeasure, and he was deprived of the districts of Chikori, Manoli and Akiwat, and obliged to admit British troops into his forts, and to accept a Minister appointed by Government. During the minority of Sevaji III., who succeeded on the death of his father, in 1838, the greatest confusion arose, and on the Minister nominated by Government attempting to restore order, a general insurrection broke out and spread to Sawant Wari. This was vigorously suppressed, the forts were dismantled, th« troops disbanded, the system of hereditary garrisons abolished, and the management of the State assumed by the British Government In 1862, the Chief was re-invested with sovereign powers, and a new treaty concluded.

"The sad death of the next Chief, the amiable Rajaram, at Florence, will be remembered by our readers.

"The present Chief is receiving his education under the supervision of an European governor, a Member of the Bombay Civil Service." (Aberigh-Mackay, pp. 70-71)

This State lies along the abrupt and rugged mountains of the Sahyadri range. Sea breezes, heavy rains, dense mists rising from the deep valleys or wafted up from the Indian Ocean, and a general altitude, of nearly 2,000 feet are the chief climatic circumstances. • .
