India commemorated the time in 1960 when the vast Bombay state was split along linguistic lines on Thursday, marking the 65th anniversary of the creation of the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. National authorities praised the cultural legacies and economic achievements of the two western states that have shaped contemporary India’s identity, and the day, known locally as Maharashtra Day and Gujarat Gaurav Divas, was commemorated with official accolades and public pride.
President Droupadi Murmu wished the citizens of both states a happy occasion on social media. “I would want to send my warmest regards to all of my compatriots on the foundation day of Gujarat state, particularly my Gujarati brothers and sisters who reside in India and elsewhere. The President posted on X (previously Twitter) that “this land of sons like Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, who gave the message of peace and non-violence to the world, and Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who united India, has always shown the way to humanity.”
I have no doubt that Gujarat will establish new benchmarks for development and play a big role in establishing India as a global force,” she continued.
The President wished the people of Maharashtra well in another post. She expressed optimism that the state will continue to lead with social change and patriotism, recalling the history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and notable figures like BR Ambedkar, Jyotiba Phule, and Savitribai Phule.
Jagdeep Dhankhar, the vice president, also echoed her views. Gujarat is a place of “leadership, resilience, and innovation,” he extolled. Gujarat, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, continues to inspire, according to the vice president, with its history of creativity, tenacity, and leadership.

“Send warm greetings to the people of Maharashtra on Maharashtra Statehood Day,” Dhankhar said in a separate message to the state’s citizens. The country continues to take pleasure in Maharashtra’s history of social change, cultural vitality, and economic leadership. I hope the state keeps hitting more significant milestones in the years to come.
On X, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed his respect for the two western states and commended their quick progress. “The state has distinguished itself for its culture, spirit of enterprise, and dynamism,” he wrote in Gujarati. Gujaratis have achieved success in a number of professions. May the state continue to achieve unprecedented levels of development.
“Maharashtra has always played a vital role in India’s development,” the Prime Minister stated of the state. We think about its great past and the people’s bravery. The state continues to have a solid foundation for advancement while maintaining ties to its historical heritage.
