Gujarat state was formed in India.
On 1 May 1960, Gujarat state formed, through the Bombay Reorganisation Act, 1960.
The Act divided the erstwhile Bombay State into Gujarat and Maharashtra, primarily on linguistic lines for Gujarati- and Marathi-speaking populations.
The formation followed the Mahagujarat Movement led by Indulal Yagnik demanding a separate Gujarati-speaking state.
