Question

lord curzon divided bengal because​

Answer 1

The decision to effect the Partition of Bengal (Bengali: বঙ্গভঙ্গ) was announced on 19 July 1905 by the Viceroy of India, Curzon. The partition took place on 16 October 1905 and separated the largely Muslim eastern areas from the largely Hindu western areas.

Answer 2

Answer:

"Lord Curzon" divided Bengal because Curzon said that the size of Bengal was creating a problem in administration and governance. However, the main reason was to divide and rule by separating the Muslim population in the east and the Hindu population in the west. This partition happened on October 16, 1905. After this split, the "Indian National Congress" started the "Swadeshi Movement". This movement was not supported by the Muslims since they believed that this step will give them more control.
