{M-H-O} !! Maharashtra Day !! (1st May)

 

Introduction to the Maharashtra Day : The Fairs and Festivals in Maharashtra are celebrated with a great deal of fervor and enthusiasm. Maharashtra Day is one such festival about which all Maharashtrians irrespective of their caste, creed, religion or color are equally excited because it marks the day Maharashtra attained statehood. It was on this day that several decades ago in the year 1960 the state which was to eventually become religiously refined, culturally enriched, socially improved, economically powerful and commercially commanding emerged. Even to this day Maharashtra Day is celebrated to mark the formation of what is undisputedly one of the most important states of India. Time for celebrating the Maharashtra Day Festival: Maharashtra Day is celebrated each year on the first of May. Description of the Maharashtra Day in Maharashtra: Initially the present states of Maharashtra and Gujarat constituted one state by the name of Bombay. Marathi and Gujarati speaking people co existed in the same state. However certain problems ensued in this bi lingual state. So it was decided upon in the Bombay Reorganization Committee to divide Bombay into two states and get over the difficulties. Hence the erstwhile Bombay Presidency ceased to exist and two new states of Gujarat and Maharashtra were formed. On this day, official celebrations are held at the Shivaji Park in central Mumbai. Members of the state reserve police force, Brihanmumbai Commando Force, home guards, civil defense, fire brigade and city police participate in a parade. The state governor takes salute at this ceremonial parade. Common people also come to watch this formal march past. Many people had fought in favor of this unified cause. Some had even given up their life while protesting. On Maharashtra Day, these martyrs are remembered and homage is paid to them. Hutatma Smarak, a memorial which was built in honor of the martyrs is attended to by many. On this occasion several distinguished individuals are also honored for their contribution. Illustrious teachers, police officials, sportsmen, doctors are congratulated for their effective roles in their respective fields.
