Rajaram II

Rajaram II (31 July 1897-26 November 1940) was the Maharaja of Kolhapur from 1922-1940, succeeding his father Maharaja Shahu IV. A benevolent ruler, he was instrumental in the uplifting of the dalits and depressed castes in his state.

As he only left a daughter at his passing, he was succeeded by a distant relation, Shivaji V.
