But the actual reason behind this was  his fear on their existence and decided to break apart the state Bengal. Lord Curzon could understand the unity among the Indian nation and wanted to curb their individuality.

Political strength
Lord Curzon during his tenure from 1898 to 1905 he expressed of bringing down the number of elected Senate members. Thus in the year 1899 he brought down the members that were to be elected from the Calcutta Corporation giving the key financial powers to the Britisher’s.

The Universities Act
Lord Curzon passed the universities Act in the year 1904 according to this Act secrets of the government were meant to be curtailed among them and not given to the press.

Nationalism
