The Hutatma Chowk square is named in memory of the 105 members of the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti who were killed here in a brutal police firing during a peaceful protest in February 1960. They were demanding the formation of a separate Marathi-speaking state of Maharashtra from the (then Gujrat-included) bi-lingual state of Bombay. The protest was eventually successful and a memorial with a statue of the 'Martyr' next to the iconic Flora Fountain is what's left behind. The statue is surrounded by Victorian British buildings housing large banks in the heart of the financial district.
