[amp_mcq option1=”Separate statehood for Gujarat” option2=”Unification of Gujarat and Rajasthan” option3=”Inclusion of Kutch region in Gujarat” option4=”Reservation policies” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: a) Separate statehood for Gujarat.
The Mahagujarat Movement was a political movement that advocated for the creation of a separate state of Gujarat from the Bombay Presidency. The movement was started in the early 1950s by Gujarati nationalists who felt that Gujarati-speaking people were being discriminated against by the Marathi-speaking majority in the Bombay Presidency. The movement gained momentum in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and in 1960, Gujarat was granted statehood.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is incorrect because the Mahagujarat Movement did not advocate for the unification of Gujarat and Rajasthan.
- Option c) is incorrect because the Mahagujarat Movement did not advocate for the inclusion of Kutch region in Gujarat.
- Option d) is incorrect because the Mahagujarat Movement did not advocate for reservation policies.
