Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ( April 17, 1897 – September 8, 1981 ), born Maruti Shivrampant Kambli, was an Indian spiritual teacher and philosopher of Advaita ( Nondualism ), and a Guru, belonging to the Inchgiri branch of the Navnath Sampradaya.

The day was also the birthday of Lord Hanuman, hence the boy was named ' Maruti ', after Lord Hanuman himself.

Maruti Shivrampant Kambli was brought up in Kandalgaon, a small village in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, where he grew up amidst his family of six siblings, two brothers and four sisters, and deeply religious parents.

Her Maruti car was the first piece of evidence in the trial.

Maruti Udyog Limited ( MUL ) was established in February 1981, though the actual production commenced in 1983 with the Maruti 800, based on the Suzuki Alto kei car which at the time was the only modern car available in India, its only competitors-the Hindustan Ambassador and Premier Padmini were both around 25 years out of date at that point.

Maruti 800, till 2004, was the India's largest selling compact car ever since it was launched in 1983.

This model remained in production ( latterly by Maruti Udyog ) for the European market until 1993, when it was replaced by an also Maruti-built 1-litre version of the Cervo Mode.

Produced at Hyundai's factory in Chennai, its primary competitor at the time was the popular Maruti Suzuki Zen.

It was codenamed MG410, which stood for " Maruti Gypsy 4-cylinder 1. 0-litre engine ".

The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is a made-for-India version of Suzuki Wagon R. The Wagon R was launched in December 1999, and has since undergone three upgrades ( one in 2003, another in 2006 and another in 2010 ).

To this end, Japan has funded many infrastructure projects in India, most notably in New Delhi's metro subway system and Maruti.
