Good evening! Please, help me get some information about Maharashtra? 
 Sure! Maharashtra is a state of India. It is the third-largest state of India. It is bordered by Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Goa, and Chhattisgarh. Would you like information on their history? 
 Thank you! I would very much appreciate the history. 
 In 1954-1955, citizens of Maharashtra protested against bilingual Bombay state, and Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti was formed. In 1960 there were several violent, mass protests resulting in 105 deaths. The protests were against the Bombay state again. The separate Marathi-speaking state was formed by dividing the Bombay state in the new states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. 
 That is so interesting. Is there anything else you can share? 
 The British government was over Maharashtra as part of the Bombay Presidency. The area they governed spanned from Karachi, Pakistan to northern Deccan states. Once India gained their independence, the Deccan States were integrated into Bombay State. 
 Thank you for the history lesson. Would you now be able to talk a little about the regions, divisions, and districts in Maharashtra? 
 Sure! So, each district is governed by a district collector or magistrate. The district collector or magistrate is appointed by the Indian Administrative Service or the Maharashtra Civil Service. 
 So, how many districts does Maharashtra have? 
 Unfortunately, that is the only information I have regarding their districts. Would you like some information on their governance and administration? 
 No thank you! I appreciate all of our help. I hope you have a great evening. 
 You're welcome! You as well!
