Gadkaris in Kolhapur
Solution
- In Kolhapur state, there used to be keepers of forts, called 'Gadkari'.
- A Gadkari was a salaried officer in the Maratha regime.

- The first resistance to this decision was raised at Samangadh near Kolhapur.
- Captain Outram arrived with his platoons to bring the Gadkari's under control. However, in the first run, the rebels were successful in taking charge of Panhala, Pavangadh, and Vishalgadh.
- Later, more platoons arrived from Madras (Chennai) and the Gadkaris were forced to surrender.
