International Labour Day is observed on May 1st to celebrate workers' rights and was first celebrated in India in 1923 in Chennai by the Labour Kisan Party. On the same day, Maharashtra Day and Gujarat Day mark the formation of the two states in 1960, after the division of the Bombay State based on linguistic lines.
