The whole episode became famous as the Kolhapur Prakaran (affair). Removed to Ahmednagar, Sir Shivaji IV died a year later on December 25, 1883 at the age of 20, "in a scuffle with", or "due to beating received from", a British soldier appointed to take care of him - a Private Lloyd Passingham (PRivate Green?). He was succeeded by Shahaji II, as he had left no heir. [1]. The manner of his death was widely regarded as a vindication of the accusations made by the Indian nationalists, in spite of the court ruling against them, the whole issue being a landmark in the development of the Indian Independence Movement.
