Answer:
Samyukta Maharashtra Movement (Marathi: Sanyukta Maharashtra Chalaval), commonly known as the Samiti, was an organisation in India that advocated for a separate Marathi-speaking state in Western India from 1956 to 1960.
The Samiti demanded the creation of a new state from Marathi-speaking areas of the State of Bombay, a Marathi state, with the city of Bombay as its capital.[1] The Samiti achieved its goal when the state of Maharashtra was created on 1 May 1960. Members continued to advocate for the inclusion of Marathi-speaking areas in northern Karnataka such as Belgaum, Karwar, Dharwad and Bidar into Maharashtra, and the newly annexed state of Goa until the 1967 Goa Opinion Poll rejected merger with Maharashtra.
