Mahagujarat movement, known as Mahagujarat Andolan locally, was a political movement demanding the creation of the state of Gujaratfor Gujarati-speaking people from the bilingual Bombay state of Indiain 1956. It succeeded in the formation of Gujarat, as well as the Marathi-speaking Maharashtrastate, on 1 May 1960.During British rule in India, sections of thewestern coast of India were the part of the Bombay Presidency. In 1937, Bombay Presidency was included as a province of British India. After independence of India in 1947, the demand for linguistic states came up. On 17 June 1948, Rajendra Prasad set up the Linguistic Provinces Commission torecommend whether the states should be reorganized or not on linguistic basis. The commission included S. K. Dhar (retired Judge of the Allahabad High Court), J. N. Lal (lawyer) and Panna Lall (retired Indian Civil Service officer), so it was called Dhar commission. In its 10 December 1948 report, the Commission recommended that "the formation of provinces on exclusively or evenmainly linguistic considerations is not in the larger interests of the Indian nation"
