Some of these include Shivaji (Kunbi jati), Sri Krishna Deva Raya, Harihara Raya and Bukka Raya (Kuruba community, classified as backward today and another word for the Yadav community in the South), Ranoji Shinde (I am not exactly sure what the position of the jati was but he was supposed to have been a slipper carrier of Baji Rao I), Malharrao Holkar (was a goatherd before he rose up the ranks through his own abilities), Mahadji Shinde (son of Ranoji Shinde).
