  • 14. Formation of State of Maharashtra
    14. Formation of State of Maharashtra After India gained independence, there was demand on large scale for the reconstruction of states on linguistic basis. In Maharashtra also the demand for state of Marathi speaking people led to ‘Samyukta Maharashtra Movement’ from 1946 onwards. Through various changing circumstances the movement progressed and finally on 1 May 1960 the state of Maharashtra came to be formed. Background : From the beginning of 20th century, many scholars had begun to express the thoughts on unification of Marathi speaking people. In 1911, the British Government had to suspend the partition of Bengal. On this background, N.C.Kelkar wrote that ‘the entire Marathi speaking poulation should be under one dominion’. In 1915, Lokmanya Tilak had demanded the reconstruction of a state based on language. But during that period the issue of independence of India was more important, hence this issue remained aside. On 12 May 1946, in the Sahitya Sammelan at Belgaon, an important resolution regarding Samyukta Maharashtra was passed. Samyukta Maharashtra Parishad : On 28 July, ‘Maharashtra Ekikaran Parishad’ was called at Mumbai. Shankarrao Dev was its president. It passed a resolution that all Marathi speaking regions should be included in one state. This should also include Marathi speaking regions of Mumbai, Central provinces as well as Marathwada and Gomantak. Dar Commission : On 17 June 1947, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the President of Constituent Assembly established the ‘Dar Commission’ under the chairmanship of Justice S.K.Dar, for forming linguistic provinces. On 10 December 1948, the report of Dar Commission was published but the issue remained unsolved.

It is baffling how something that seemed praiseworthy in the past proves to be objectionable today in all aspects. But it is not very difficult to unravel this. The movement of time is unstoppable. We find the same thing in nature: yesterday’s child does not remain forever a child. According to the law of nature, with the movement of time, his inner and outer nature continues to develop, and in just eighteen years we see that winsome infant transformed into a strong and robust youth. Every situation and idea is swiftly left behind by the rapid speed with which time advances; and if an idea or situation were indeed to remain in a static state like rocks and stones, it would hardly be surprising or reprehensible if to a progressive eye it appeared outlandish and worthless.

  • Flex Your Spiritual Muscle
    FLEX YOUR SPIRITUAL MUSCLE COCEPTS I METAPHYSICAL FITESS A QUICK GUIDE TO TAKE YOU ITO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR MID AD BEYOD Dr Kunda Silimkhan, M.D. FLEX YOUR SPIRITUAL MUSCLE Concepts in Metaphysical Fitness Dr Kunda Silimkhan, M.D Flex Your Spiritual Muscle Page 2 e-book: © Dr Kunda Silimkhan, M.D. First edition 2010 Poornam-Centre for Holistic Wellbeing, Email:[email protected]. Flex Your Spiritual Muscle Page 3 Preface Today, the world places a high premium on physical fitness. Just as we have to keep ourselves physically fit to enjoy the world, we need to work out at a deeper metaphysical level to experience the true joy of living. Metaphysical fitness like physical fitness is a continuous and ongoing process and not a one-time event. Meditation is one tool to achieve this end. Just as you cannot limit your exercise only for Sundays and then expect to remain fit or practice tennis for a month to win laurels at Wimbledon, you need to meditate regularly. Meditation is an excellent tool to build up your metaphysical strengths. Although not essential for outcomes, a belief in the benefits of meditation helps. The next question is of course, how do I qualify to write a book like this? Frankly, I am an ever struggling aspirant on the path with my daily trials and tribulations, yet I have ventured to write this book because I have managed to see myself through two illnesses created by my mind and cured them likewise. Though there is no guarantee my mind won’t create more, I felt it was worthwhile sharing my experiences with those who are facing similar circumstances.
