Kher) (August 24, 1888 – March 8, 1957) was the first chief minister (then called prime minister) of Bombay State which consisted of present-day Maharastra and Gujarat States of India. He was awarded the Padma Vibhushan by the Government of India in 1954. A lawyer, solicitor and social worker by choice and politician by necessity, Kher was often described as “Sajjan”, good and gentle. Kher was a scholar, an accomplished orator, and a man with no pretensions.
