Now in this blog, we will study about the history, environment and economy of the state.

Which state capital is India’s biggest financial and commercial capital? Do you know the state that has the largest economy in India? Where is the ‘Wine Capital of India’?

Maharashtra is the most urban state in India. It’s home to some of the most developed cities of India, such as Mumbai, Pune, Nasik, Nagpur, etc. Maharashtra is the financial, commercial and entertainment hub of India situated in the western region of India.

Let’s talk about the olden forgotten days of Maharashtra. 
 

<h2 id="content-id-712-0">History of Maharashtra </h2>

The history of Maharashtra is quite rich as some of the great rulers and kings have ruled this region. All of them have left their indelible mark on the land. The great state has glorious historical events which can be traced back to the 3rd century BC. The tincture of the past has made the present equally bright.

<h3>Early History:</h3>

<ul>
	<li>During the early period of 8th century, the present-day state of Maharashtra was divided between several Hindu kingdoms: Satavahana, Vakataka, Kalacuri, Rashtrakuta, Chalukya, and Yadava.</li>
	<li>A succession of Muslim dynasties ruled after 1307. By the mid-16th century, Maharashtra was again fragmented by Muslim rulers who fought with each other limitlessly.</li>
	<li>It was in the midst of that chaos that the great leader ‘Shivaji’ was born in 1627. Shivaji showed astonishing prowess by founding a large Maratha empire that shook Delhi-based Mughal rule to its foundations.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li> The Peshwa Dynasty took the Maratha Kingdom to new heights of glory during their reign from 1712 to 1804.</li>
	<li>The Maratha Kingdom had to face a crumbling defeat by the hands of Ahmad Shah Abdali in the Third Battle of Panipat in the year 1761. The defeat reduced the power of the Maratha kingdom and confined it regionally.</li>
</ul>

<h3>British Rule:</h3>

<ul>
	<li>The British rule in the state of Maharashtra was established only after the three Anglo-Maratha Wars.</li>
	<li> At that time the Mughal power had already crumbled. Therefore, the fall of the Maratha power at the hands of the British marked the beginning of British rule in India.</li>
	<li> Britain gained control of Bombay Island in 1661, and from the early 19th century onward the Marathas gradually succumbed to British expansion on the mainland. </li>
	<li>The region was governed by the Bombay Presidency which included most parts of northern Deccan.</li>
	<li> The princely states in the region included the modern cities of Nagpur, Satara and Kolhapur which accepted the British supremacy in return of maintaining local autonomy.</li>
	<li>In 20th century, the struggle for independence took shape which was led by radical nationalist Bal Gangadhar Tilak and the moderates like Justice Mahadev Govind Ranade, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Pherozeshah Mehta and Shahu, Raja of Kolhapur, Dadabhai Naoroji, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Jyotirao Phule, all these social reformers who were all born in this region.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The warning to the Britishers during the Quit India Movement was given in Mumbai and reached a climax in the transfer of power and independence in 1947.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Post-independence:</h3>

After India gained its independence in 1947; the province became Bombay state (1950). Maharashtra went through a number of political changes. Several former princely states subsequently were merged into the new state. The modern state of Maharashtra came into existence in 1960, under the Bombay Reorganization Act in which the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat were legally given the status of separate states based on linguistic differences. The modern history of Maharashtra includes the period from the attainment of independence to the final separation of the states.
