For the one doesn’t know about this day, then let us tell you why May 1 is celebrated as Maharashtra Day. For that, we have to take you back to the mid-1950s when the Samyukta Maharashtra Andolan started demanding a separate Marathi-speaking state and Mahagujarat Movement wanted a state for Gujarati-speaking people. In 1960 all the protests ended with the Bombay Reorganization Act. An act was passed by the Parliament which led to the division of Bombay into two states-Maharashtra and Gujarat.

On 1 May 1960, the legislation came into effect and Maharashtra had Marathi and Konkani language speaking people while Gujarat had mostly Gujarati and Kutchi speaking people. This is why Maharashtra Day is observed in the state with full fervour.
