संयुक्त महाराष्ट्र समितीची स्थापना कोणत्या ठिकाणच्या संमेलनामध्ये करण्यात आली होती ?

The correct answer is Option C (Belgaum).

Key Points:
• The Samyukta Maharashtra movement demanded a separate Marathi-speaking state.
• A pivotal event in this movement was the 'Samyukta Maharashtra Parishad' (convention), held at Belgaum (Belagavi) on 12 May 1946.
• It was organized during the Marathi Sahitya Sammelan under the leadership of Shankarrao Deo. Here, the resolution for a united Maharashtra (including Belgaum, Karwar, Nippani) was formally passed.
• Although the actual 'Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti' (a political coalition) was officially formed later in Pune (1956), the conceptual foundation and the initial unifying convention referred to in MPSC questions is the 1946 Belgaum convention.
• Key Takeaway: The foundational resolution for Samyukta Maharashtra was passed at the Belgaum convention in 1946.
