Answer 1

Explanation:

The decision to split Bengal came in July and by October 16, 1905, Bengal had been divided into Piston Bengal and Assam (with a population of 31 million) and the rest of Bengal (with a population of the 4 million of who 18 million were Bengalis, and 36 million Biharis and Oriyas).

The decision had come after Lord Curzon claimed that Bengal was too large to be governed effectively.

Divide and rule

The partition separated the largely Muslim eastern areas from the largely Hindu western areas

It was definitely the 'divide and rule' policy for the Indians and the whole population was outraged about the fact that the colonisers were turning native population against itself in order to rule.
