History

The Phadtare family is one of the 96 major Maratha clans. The Khataw branch of the Phadtare family had been Deshmukhs since the Bahmani period. References to them are found in the central records office in Delhi and in various Marathi historical sources. Historian Shankar Narayan Joshi had published information about them through the Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal. According to that information, among the six brothers, two each served under the Adilshahi, Nizamshahi, and Maratha rule. center They were also connected with the Kolhapur and Tanjore princely states. In the Gwalior state, the Phadtare family of Kuroli were jagirdars at Baksanpur. The Phadtare family also served as commanders under the Bhonsles of Nagpur. Their descendants still live in Khataw taluka and continue to manage Patilki and Deshmukhi inam villages. The Deshmukh seal carried the symbol of a gallows.

During the time of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, Manaji, Mhassaji, Sultanji, Kedarji, and others were cavalrymen and military commanders. In Shahu Maharaj’s period, the Mohite, Phadtare, Anant, and Ghumal families fought in Konkan to capture forts such as Kallushta. During the Peshwa era too, the Phadtare family participated in battles like Panipat and Kharda. The wealthy Deshmukh family of Khatav and Kuroli Siddheshwar villages in the Khatav taluka of Satara district. The ancient Deshmukhi rights of the Khatav region (Pargana) have traditionally belonged to the Phadtare family. Multiple historical references to this exist since the pre-Shivaji era. A specific dispute resolution document (Mahzar) regarding the local leadership (Patilki) of Khatav, dated November 27, 1444, is fully available. Several subsequent dispute resolutions have also been published. This clearly demonstrates that the Phadtare Deshmukhs have held the Deshmukhi rights of the Khatav region since ancient times.
