Govindbhai Shroff, also known as the freedom fighter, led a movement[which?] to fight against the Nizam of Hyderabad during the Hyderabad Campaign of 194. As a result the Marathwada region was liberated from the Hyderabad State on September 17, 1948. In 1966, people responded to the call of Shroff by taking part in hunger strikes, morchas, rail rokos, bandhs and other form of protests to press for a broad track gauge.[1][2]
