The first day of May is significant for the people of Gujarat as it commemorates the establishment of the state. The day also marks the the struggle taken by people to have a separate state.
On 1 May, 1960, the former state Bombay was bifurcated and two new states – Maharashtra and Gujarat – were formed. The separation was done on linguistic basis. Where Marathi-speaking people settled in Maharashtra, Gujarati-speaking people moved to Gujarat.
Gujarat was established as the 15th state of the Indian Union. Every year on its foundation day, parades and other events take place across the state. A grand parade is organised at the Sabarmati Waterfall in Ahmedabad.
