Vishwanath Kashinath Rajwade (24 July 1863 – 31 December 1926) was an Indian historian,[1] known for his work on the history of the Maratha Empire.[2] He pioneered research into the Empire by visiting hundreds of villages across India and gathering thousands of historical documents, especially family records.[2] He also founded the Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal, a research institute, at Pune in 1910.[3]
His students include historians like Datto Vaman Potdar, Vasudeo Sitaram Bendrey and G. H. Khare.
The historian, Ram Sharan Sharma says: "With his unadulterated passion for research, V.K. Rajwade went from village to village in Maharashtra in search of Sanskrit manuscripts and sources of Maratha history; which were published in twenty-two volumes."[4]
The Indian History Congress created the Vishwanath Kashinath Rajwade Award for lifelong service and contribution to Indian history.
