Maharashtra was created when states in India were reorganized based on language. Before India gained independence from British rule in 1947, Maharashtra was part of the Bombay Presidency, including parts of present-day Pakistan and Gujarat. The British colonial government administered the Bombay Presidency. Maharashtra's formation was an important step in India's language-based state reorganization. It laid the groundwork for other states to be created based on language and helped to strengthen the cultural and linguistic identity of Marathi-speaking people.
Maharashtra Day celebrates the state's linguistic and cultural heritage. It is a day to remember those who fought for its creation and pay tribute to the leaders who led the movement for a separate state. The day is celebrated with parades, cultural events, and flag-hoisting ceremonies throughout the state. Schools and government offices remain closed, and people participate in various activities to mark the occasion.
