Answer 1

It needs a fragmentation or division of British-India in its territorial boundary. Muslims werein favour of this partition relieving them from lower condition under the Hindu hegemony. So, partition of Bengal was held under the auspicious of Lord Curzon, British viceroy of India in 1905.The idea of the partition had been brought up only for administrative reasons. Therefore, Curzon planned to split Orissa and Bihar and join fifteen eastern districts of Bengal with Assam. ... Muslims led by the Nawab of Dhaka supported the partition and Hindus opposed it.
