Name the Viceroy who partitioned Bengal. In which year was it? What were the reasons of partition?
Answers
Answer:
October 16, 1905 is an important date for Bengal. The then Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon decided to divide the region in a way that the western part was home to the Hindu majority area and the eastern part for the Muslim majority.
Reasons:
i)By the 1900s the province had grown too large to handle under a single administration.
ii)East Bengal, because of isolation and poor communication, had been neglected in comparison to west Bengal and Bihar. Thus the partition was promoted for administrative regions.
iii)Bengalis were one of the first to benefit in the area of education under the British Raj. As a result, they were also given better posts in the government. Lord Curzon, the architect of the partition, knew that splitting Bengal, would weaken their influence and divide the nationalist movement.
