[edit] Name
In most books I've ever read, Gaekwar is spelled Gaekwar, not Gaekwad. I am not a Maratha speaker and don't know which is more appropriate, but certainly in 19th and 20th century British documents it's Gaekwar. I am considering moving the article. Any thoughts? -- TinaSparkle 23:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jagir
Shivaji never gave jagir to anyone, Giving jagirs was against a Shivaji's Idea of state. during Peshva regime all Maratha princely states were like the Managers of the area under the Maratha empire, it was after the 1761 panipat debacle all maratha dynastes started acting like a separte princely states. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.69.23.120 (talk) 13:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
