'''Mohite''' is a [[Maratha clan]].

== History ==
Early mention of the Mohite name is in Shivabharat, a Sanskrit poem from the 17th century. The Mohite at that time served various [[Deccan sultanates]] such as the [[Nizamshahi]] or the [[Adilshahi]] of [[Bijapur]] like other Maratha clans such as Bhosale, Ghorpade, More, Shirke etc.<ref name="Gordon1993">{{cite book|author=Stewart Gordon|title=The Marathas 1600–1818|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iHK-BhVXOU4C&pg=PR9|date=16 September 1993|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-26883-7|pages=46, 53, 61}}</ref>
One of [[Shahaji]]'s wives, Tukabai, came from the Mohite family. Their son, [[Venkoji]], ruled the Maratha kingdom of [[Thanjavur Maratha kingdom|Tanjore]]. Tukabai's niece (her brother's daughter), [[Soyarabai]] (d. 1680), became the second wife of [[Shivaji]].The famed female maratha warrior [[Tarabai]] (1675–1761), the wife of [[Rajaram Chhatrapati|Rajaram]], was also from the Mohite clan. With the rise of Shivaji, the Mohite became his trusted generals. In the internecine conflict between members of the Bhosale family after Shivaji's death in 1680, Soyarabai's own brother and army chief [[Hambirrao Mohite]] switched sides to support the claims of [[Sambhaji]] for the Maratha throne.<ref name="Mehta2005">{{cite book|author=Jaswant Lal Mehta|title=Advanced Study in the History of Modern India 1707–1813|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=d1wUgKKzawoC&pg=PA48|date=1 January 2005|publisher=Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd|isbn=978-1-932705-54-6|pages=48–}}</ref> Bhavanji Mohite was the commander of the Maratha naval base at Malvan in the early years of the 18th century.<ref name="SenSen1993">{{cite book|author1=Surendranath Sen|author2=Surendra Nath Sen|title=Studies in Indian History: Historical Records at Goa|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VLEo_DUL9XgC&pg=PA1|year=1993|publisher=Asian Educational Services|isbn=978-81-206-0773-6|page=47}}</ref>

In the 18th century, Burhanji Mohite had great influence over his sister's husband, [[Raghoji I Bhonsle|Raghuji Bhosale]], the ruler of the [[Nagpur kingdom]]. Burhanji's other sister, Sagunabai, was married to Maratha Chhatrapati [[Shahuji|Shahu]]{{sfn|"Mehta2005"|p=171}}

==Modern times==
A number of Mohite clan members have been at the forefront of politics in the state of [[Maharashtra]]. During the period of 1960–1990, route to power in the state was through local institutions, and the [[Cooperative sugar factories in Maharashtra|cooperative sugar mills]]. The two Mohite who achieved influence in the state politics through this route were [[Shankarrao Mohite-Patil]] and [[Yashwantrao Mohite]].<ref>Baviskar, B.S., 2007. Cooperatives in Maharashtra: Challenges ahead. Economic and Political Weekly, pp. 4217–4221 [https://www.jstor.org/stable/40276570]</ref> Many members of Shankarao's family have been active in Maharashtra politics. His son, [[Vijaysinh Mohite–Patil]] served as the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra in 2004.
