Nashik was known by many names. It was known as "Padmanagar" during theSatya Yuga,"Trikantak" during theTreta Yuga,"Janasthana" during theDvapara Yuga,and finally "Navashikh" or "Nashik" during theKali Yuga,according to Hindu traditions.[20]Nashik is significant in mythology, history, social life, and culture. The city is located on the banks of theGodavari River,making it a sacred site for Hindus around the world. During his 14-year exile from Ayodhya,Rama,the king ofAyodhya,is said to have made Nashik his home.[21]

Nashik Tram

edit

Nashik Tram was started from the Old Municipal Building on the main road to Nashik Road railway station around 1889. The tram served the people of Nashik for almost 44 years. The tram station was at the Main Road, and the tram reached the Nashik Road railway station via the present Main Road, Bhadrakali Market, Ghasbazar, and Phalke Road. It covered a distance of about eight to ten km, and the stretch used to be covered with dense jungle at the time. In the article ‘Nashik-then’, poet Kusumagraj has written passionately about trams. He writes, "If the carriages were full, the tram would leave. It would ring the bell and drive out of the village to the main road and then to the grass market.[22]

Revolutionary activities

edit

In the 1900sVinayak Savarkaralong with his brother founded a secret societyAbhinav Bharatin Nasik Mitra Mela which was one amongst many in Maharashtra. On 21 December 1909 a member of Abhinav Bharat,Anant Kanherea student fromAurangabadassassinated Nashik's governorA. M. T. Jacksonwhile he was watching a play in a theatre. Kanhere was arrested on the spot and after investigation, police arrested Vinayak Savarkar and others for conspiring against the government to instigate an armed rebellion. The case was known as the "Nasik Conspiracy Case - 1910". In the court trial in Bombay, police alleged Savarkar was the brain, moving spirit and inspiration of the conspiracy extending over many years. Bombay court sentenced him to life imprisonment, and transportation to notoriousCellular Jailat Andaman; Savarkar's elder brotherBabarao Savarkaralso received the same punishment and others received varying degrees of imprisonment. ICS officer Jakson's assassination created a sensation in Poona, Nasik and Bombay, the case and subsequently imprisonment made Savarkar famous.[23][24][25]In 1930, the Nashik Satyagraha was launched under the leadership of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar for the entry of Dalits in Kalaram Mandir (Temple). In 1931, a meeting of the Bombay Province Charmkar Parishad was organised in Nashik to work out the Chambhars' position concerning the Second Round Table Conference in which Babasaheb was going to participate. In 1932, Babasaheb organised his temple entry movement for the abolition of untouchability in Nashik.[26]
