Maharashtra and Gujarat are two popular states in India. Both were formerly a state, i.e.; they were formerly known as Bombay state. However, the separation of Bombay state brought about the creation of two independent states known as Maharashtra and Gujarat. One of the major differences in the location of the two states.

At the same time, Maharashtra shares border with about seven different states, Gujarat shares border with just three states. Another difference is that Gujarat shares a border with a province from a neighboring country. In contrast, Maharashtra does not share a border with any foreign province. This means all the seven states it borders with are states in India.

The capital of Maharashtra is Mumbai, while the capital of Gujarat is Gandhinagar. While both states are trade states, Maharashtra is arguably the richest state in India. The common language spoken by the people of Gujarat is the Gujrati language, while the Marathi language is commonly spoken in Maharashtra.

India is a country that has many different locations. Two states in India are Maharashtra and Gujarat . They are both located on the west side of India. Both states contribute to Indian's economy, but between the two Maharashtra adds more economy to India because it is India's financial capital.

It is the richest state in India. One of the reasons why it is the richest is because it is the largest. With the size, it allows more people to work and add to the economy of the country. Another difference between them is the language that is spoken in each state. The state of Maharashtra speaks Marahati. Those in Gujarat speak the language Guharti.

Maharashtra and Gujarat are known to be two different places that are located in India. Maharashtra is considered to be the area that is considered to have more people who are literate. They have premiere educational institutions as compared to other places in India. In fact, people know Maharashtra as first industrialized India.

This is not only for education but also for the number of highways and structures.

There was a time when Gujarat and Maharashtra were together, but because of the Bombay Organization Act, they were separated from each other with Maharashtra obviously thriving so much more than Gujarat is thriving right now.
