Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar’s recent controversial statement over the Maharashtra-Karnataka border dispute.
Genesis of the dispute:
The erstwhile Bombay Presidency, a multilingual province, included the present-day Karnataka districts of Vijayapura, Belagavi, Dharwad and Uttara-Kannada.
1. In 1948, the Belgaum municipality requested that the district, having a predominantly Marathi-speaking population, be incorporated into the proposed Maharashtra state.
2. However, the States Reorganisation Act of 1956, which divided states on linguistic and administrative lines, made Belgaum and 10 talukas of Bombay State a part of the then Mysore State (which was renamed Karnataka in 1973).
The Mahajan Commission report:
While demarcating borders, the Reorganisation of States Commission sought to include talukas with a Kannada-speaking population of more than 50 per cent in Mysore.
=> Opponents of the region’s inclusion in Mysore argued, and continue to argue, that Marathi-speakers outnumbered Kannadigas who lived there in 1956.
=> In September 1957, the Bombay government echoed their demand and lodged a protest with the Centre, leading to the formation of the Mahajan Commission under former Chief Justice Mehr Chand Mahajan in October 1966.
Recommendations of the Commission:
The Commission in its report in August 1967 recommended that 264 villages be transferred to Maharashtra (which formed in 1960) and that Belgaum and 247 villages remain with Karnataka.
Later developments:
1. Maharashtra rejected the report, calling it biased and illogical, and demanded another review.
2. Karnataka welcomed the report, and has ever since continued to press for implementation, although this has not been formally done by the Centre.
3. Maharashtra continues to claim over 814 villages along the border, as well as Belgaum city, which are currently part of Karnataka.
4. Successive governments in Maharashtra have demanded their inclusion within the state– a claim that Karnataka contests.
