Tukoji Rao IV Pawar (17 November 1963 – 19 June 2015) was an Indian politician belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Mr. Pawar was member of the Legislative Assembly of Madhya Pradesh.

He was a descendant of the Pawar dynasty of the Marathas. His father Krishnajirao III was the last ruler of Dewas (Senior) State which was a '15 Gun Salute' princely state in India. He was the titular MaharajaofDewas (Senior) State until 1971 when in the 26th amendment[1] to the Constitution of India promulgated in 1971, the Government of India abolished all official symbols of princely India, including titles, privileges, and remuneration (privy purses).[2]

He was the Member of Legislative Assembly from Dewas for six terms from 1990 to 2015. He was inducted in the state cabinet for two terms serving as Minister for Higher Education, Technical Education and later Tourism, Sports and Youth Welfare. He was elected as the President of the Board of Governors of The Daly College, Indore in 2004, again in 2005, in 2010 and in 2015.[3] His wife Gayatri Raje Pawar has been representing the assembly seat since his death.

He died in 2015 of brain haemorrhage.[4] Vikram Singh Rao II Pawar is his son.

Through 1971, the two sides tried and failed to find a settlement. The princes were willing to forgo their privy purses, but hoped at least to save their titles. But with her overwhelming majority in Parliament, the prime minister had no need to compromise. On 2 December she introduced a bill to amend the constitution and abolish all princely privileges. It was passed in the Lok Sabha by 381 votes to six, and in the Rajya Sabha by 167 votes to seven. In her own speech, the prime minister invited 'the princes to join the elite of the modern age, the elite which earns respect by its talent, energy and contribution to human progress, all of which can only be done when we work together as equals without regarding anybody as of special status.'

Once they seemed immutable, invincible. In 1971 they were "derecognized," their privileges, privy purses and titles all abolished at a stroke" (page 91)
