Past Forward: A Rough Guide to the Voyage of a State

There were ups and downs; victories and defeats; joy and sorrow, success and failure- in short everything.By now, Maharashtra had become a mature state and was ready to face any challenge that came its way. Of course, for 50 years since its creation Maharashtra has seen many ups and downs, faced many difficulties and fought with many challenges. That has contributed in the state's history. Past Forward' brings out major events of all the fields- political, economical, social and cultural that has made Maharashtra what it is today. Journalist in Bharatkumar Raut have penned down what can be said a travelogue of Journey of the state since 1960 to 2010. Every decade has brought something new to the state. The older generations who have seen the period very closely will reminisce over the past; but new generation to whom it is still a mystery, the book will be as a rough guide to the Maharashtra's journey as a State. Past Forward' is not a detailed study of the history of Maharashtra but an account that should be always handy while we embark on new journey across the millennium.
