Maharashtra Samiti was formed and the regional movement known as Sanyukta Maharashtra Andolan started agitation, demanding the seperate Marathi speaking state including Bombay city on 6th Feb 1956.Similarly in1956,the Mahagujrat movement started agitation for the creation of seperate Gujarat speaking state Gujrat out of Bombay state.The movement of Sanyukta Maharashtra Samiti became aggressive under the leaderships of Shankarrao Deo,Cromade Shripad Dange and so on.All workers, schools, colleges ,banks and offices participated in the strike.There were curfew orders everywhere.During that period,10,000 satyagrahis were arrested and 106 people died in police firing in various places of Maharashtra.106 people became martyrs in the movement.
At last the sacrifice of those people didn't go in vain.The president Dr.Rajendra Prasad decided about the formation of Maharashtra state .At last our then Prime Minister, Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru declared Maharashtra as a state of Marathi speaking along with Mumbai (Bomhay)at Shivaji Park, Mumbai on 1stMay 1960.In this way Maharashtra state was formed on 1st May 1960 and Mr.Yashvantrao Chavan became the first Chief Minister of Maharashtra.So we celebrate this day as the Maharashtra Day every year.In the memory of 106 Martyrs, Hutatma Smarak was built at Flora Fountain in Mumbai. I pay my homage to all the martyrs and give full stop to my speech.
Jay Hind !Jay Maharashtra!
