Hey
Explanation:
George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston (11 January 1859 – 20 March 1925) was known commonly as Lord Curzon, was a British statesman who served as Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905.
He is well remembered in Indian history for his controversial decision to partition Bengal into two provinces.January 1899 he was appointed Viceroy of India. He has created a Peer of Ireland as Baron Curzon of Kedleston, in the County of Derby, on his appointment. This peerage was created in the Peerage of Ireland (the last so created) so that he would be free, until his father’s death, to re-enter the House of Commons on his return to Britain.
Within India, Curzon appointed a number of commissions to inquire into education, irrigation, police and other branches of administration, on whose reports legislation was based during his second term of office as viceroy. Reappointed Governor-General in August 1904, he presided over the 1905 partition of Bengal.
Motives behind the Partition of Bengal
Curzon came up with the idea to suppress the rising tide of nationalism. Curzon wanted to spread the idea that the bitter attitude adopted by the British against the Muslims was now to be replaced by a benevolent attitude, and that the longevity of British rule in India can only be ascertained with the active alliance of the Muslims.
