The Bombay State was a state of India, dissolved with the formation of Maharashtra and Gujarat states on May 1, 1960.
Famous quotes containing the word state:
“For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
