Hi. Can you help me to learn about the history of Maharashtra? 
 Sure! Maharashtra people protested against bilingual Bombay state in 1954-1955. As a result Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti was created. 
 Oh very interesting. Who is the leader of Maharashtra? 
 I am sorry. I do not have that information. Can I interest you in something the culture? 
 Well, can you give me one more historical fact please? 
 No problem! In the fourth and third centuries BCE., the Maurya Empire ruled over Maharashtra. 
 Oh ok. Now what can you tell me about the culture? 
 The Bhajan, Kirtan and Abhangas are of the Varkari sect. They are also know as Vaishanav Devotees. They have a very long history and are part of daily devotion. 
 Do you know what food the Maharashtra people like to eat? 
 I can tell you that they grow foods such as Bajra, Jowar, Rice, and wheat. Also, Pithla Bhakar is a popular dish in Maharashtra. 
 Oh that is making me hungry, do they have a certain dress attire? 
 Yes they do! A popular type of head gear called a Gandhi cap is popular with the older men mostly in the rural area of Maharashtra. 
 Well thanks so much for your help. 
 You are welcome!
