Rajaram III
Rajaram III[1] (31 July 1897 – 26 November 1940) of the Bhonsle dynasty, was Maharaja of Kolhapur from 1922–1940, succeeding his father Maharaja Shahu. A benevolent ruler, he was instrumental in the uplifting of the dalits and depressed castes in his state. He also established the Kolhapur High Court, modern housing developments, an updated water-supply system, free primary education and higher-level female education. As he only left a daughter at his death, he was succeeded by a distant relation, Shivaji VII.

gollark: 500 bots, actually.
gollark: It's mostly bot roles. Which I can't remove without the hassle of removing and readding each bot, unless there's a better way, which I was asking about (Discord is known for weird poorly documented features).
gollark: > You can have up to 250 roles in a serverYes, I reached that. But removing and readding bots to make role space is inconvenient.
gollark: Can I remove this "integration" role without just removing the bot entirely? I have a few hundred of these due to reasons and it appears to have reached the role limit.
gollark: The playground thing does have buttons at the top for the weird characters, which is helpful.
