In 1905, Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy of India, divided the province of Bengal into two parts. East Bengal comprised 15 eastern districts, having a Muslim majority. The rest of the Bengal, called the West Bengal had a Hindu majority.
The people of different parts of the country responded greatly to the division of Bengal.
1. They did not agree with the statement of Lord Curzon that the division was made purely on administrative grounds.
2. They clearly saw the aim of the Britishers to break the unity of Bengali people on communal grounds and thus weaken the nationalist movement in India.
3. The division of Bengal provoked an agitation and angry reaction of Bengali people. It also created wide spread indignation all over the country.
Agitation started in many parts of India.
4. A movement was launched to end the partition. It was led by both extremists and moderate leaders.
5. The day of partition was observed as a day of mourning all over Bengal. All businesses came to a standstill. On the suggestion of great poet Rabindra Nath Tagore, the day was also observed as a day of unity and solidarity of the people.
6. New methods of struggle were adopted. These methods were Swadeshi and Boycott. These methods brought in participation by the common people in the anti British political activities. The aim of national movement also became more radical than before.
