== Biography ==<br />
He was born in [[Bhonsle]] family. Upon the death of his father, the infant Shivaji was installed as the Chhatrapati of the [[Maratha Empire]] with his mother [[Tarabai]] serving as the regent in 1700. His cousin, [[Chhattrapati Shahu]] upon his release from the Mughals in 1707 successfully challenged Tarabai to become the next Chhatrapati.<ref name="sen2">{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra |title=A Textbook of Medieval Indian History |publisher=Primus Books |year=2013 |isbn=978-9-38060-734-4 |pages=201–202}}</ref> Tarabai then set up a rival court in [[Kolhapur]]. Shivaji II served as Raja of [[Kolhapur]] from 1710 to 1714. At that time, he was once again deposed by his step-mother Rajasbai who installed her own son, Sambhaji II on the Kolhapur throne. Shivaji died of smallpox on 14 March 1726.<ref>[http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/k/kolhapur.html Kolhapur State]</ref><br />
<br />
== Posthumous son ? ==<br />
When Shahu, without a male heir to succeed to his throne, wanted to adopt a son, Tarabai disclosed in late 1740s that Shivaji II posthumously became father of a son called [[Rajaram II of Satara|Rajaram II]] who was brought up in obscurity for his own protection. Shahu adopted Rajaram II who succeeded Shahu as the Chhatrapati following Shahu's death. However, in 1752, Tarabai swore that that Rajaram II was an imposter and not her grandson.<ref name="BP_2000">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=S2Yn4LlujqsC&pg=PA30|title=Issues in Modern Indian History|publisher=Popular|year=2000|isbn=9788171546589|editor=Biswamoy Pati|page=30}}</ref><br />
