History

[edit]

Mithila Rajya Sangharsh Samiti was formed to support the demand of the separate Mithila state in India.[6] In March 1996, Mithila Rajya Sangharsh Samiti initiated a mass-contact campaign for the demand of a separate Mithila state.[1] In 2009, when the central government gave nod to the process of the formation of Telangana, then Mithila Rajya Sangharsh Samiti planned to demonstrate protest in front of the parliament to put pressure on the central government for formation of the separate Mithila state. The national president Baidnath Chaudhary of the organisation had asked all the MPs and MLAs of the region to unite for the creation of Mithila.[7] On 24 February 2015, the Mithila Rajya Sangharsh Samiti staged a protest at Jantar Mantar in the national capital New Delhi demanding a separate Mithila state.[8] On 20 September 2016, a delegation of five members of the organisation led by Amrendra Kumar Jha met the then union food, public distribution and consumer minister Ram Vilas Paswan to convey the issues of the Mithila region. The delegation informed about the demands of construction of dam on Koshi river for electricity production, facilitation to Maithili language as Rajbhasha of Bihar and initiation of Maithili language in primary education in the region.[9] In 2018, the organisation launched a Rath Yatra known as Mithila Rajya Parisiman Jagriti Yatra which traveled several places in the Mithila region.[10]

On 1 February 2023, the people of Mithila staged a protest at Jantar Mantar in the national capital New Delhi demanding a separate Mithila state under the aegis of Akhil Bhartiya Mithila Rajya Sangharsh Samiti.[11] Similarly on 17 March 2023, the organisation launched a 70 days long padyatra which would cover 700 kms journey in the Mithila region demanding a separate Mithila state.[12] On 21 March 2023, a huge protest was organized in front of the Darbhanga Divisional Commissioner's Office under the aegis of the Mithila Rajya Sangharsh Samiti demanding a separate Mithila state for the development of the Mithila region.[13] On 9 August 2023, the organisation held a meeting in the auditorium of MLSM College in Darbhanga to unite various organizations demanding the formation of a separate Mithila state. In the meeting, it was decided to come on one platform and intensify the pace of the Mithila State Movement.[14]
