Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Shahu of Kolhapur, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 10:16, 24 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Shahu maharaj of Kolhapur was a Ghatge i.e Maratha. He was denied the rituals meant for Kshatriya because he himself was a Shudra. The mention of "kshatriya" in the article doesn't make any sense as he will be eligible for whatever rituals kshatriyas were eligible for but he was a Shudra. Shivaji Maharaj was also considered a Shudra despite being a Bhonsle Maratha and had to fabricate a genealogy tracing back to Sisodiyas to become eligible for coronation ceremony. 115.96.194.194 (talk) 10:31, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
