North Maharashtra
North Maharashtra (Marathi: Uttar Maharashtra) is a geographical region of Maharashtra State, India. The region is composed of Nashik, Dhule, Nandurbar, and Jalgaon districts. It borders the state of Gujarat to the northwest, Paschim Maharashtra to the south, Konkan to the west, and the Vidarbha and Marathwada regions of Maharashtra to the east.
The Chalukya dynasty ruled the southern part of region during ancient times.[full citation needed] The fort at Parola is believed to have once belonged to the father of the Queen of Jhansi. On 13 March 1795, the Maratha Empire defeated Nizam of Ahmadnagar and Dhule District became part of the empire.
In 1906, the British government split Khandesh district into East Khandesh and West Khandesh. In 1960 these were renamed to Dhule district and Jalgaon district respectively.
In the 1900s, inspired by Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini and his secret society Young Italy, Vinayak Savarkar founded a secret society, Abhinav Bharat, in Nasik.
On 21 December 1909, Anant Kanhere, a student from Aurangabad, assassinated Nashik governor A. M. T. Jackson at a theatre. Kanhere was immediately arrested and after an investigation police arrested Vinayak Savarkar and other accomplices for conspiring against the government to instigate an armed rebellion. The case became known as the Nasik Conspiracy. Jackson's assassination created a sensation in Poona, Nasik and Bombay, with the case and subsequent imprisonment making Savarkar famous. At the trial in Bombay, police accused Savarkar of being one of the ringleaders behind the conspiracy. The Bombay court sentenced him to life imprisonment and transportation to the Cellular Jail on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. At that time the punishment was known as Kālā Pānī (transl. Black water); Savarkar's elder brother Babarao Savarkar also received the same sentence and others received various degrees of imprisonment.
In 1936, the Indian National Congress conducted its first ever assembly in Faizpur, East Khandesh district on the advice of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Rajendra Prasad were among the dignitaries who were present.
In 1942, Mahatma Gandhi announced the Quit India Movement in Bombay, after British police fired bullets at marching schoolchildren in Nandurbar. Shirish Kumar, a 15-year-old boy, and other participating children died due to gunshot wounds.
The region was part of the Bombay Presidency. In 1956, it became part of Bombay State, before being included in Maharashtra in 1960.
