Question

what did congress and hindus of west bengal oppose partition of bengal ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Hindus of West Bengal, who dominated Bengal's business & rural life, complained the division would make them a minority in a province that would incorporate the province of Bihar and Orissa. Hindus were outraged at what they saw as a "divide and rule" policy[1][2] (gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces), even though Curzon stressed it would produce administrative efficiency. The ultimate motive remains questionable, as in two letters dated 7 February and 6 December 1904, Herbert Risley, Lord Curzon's Home Secretary, wrote,"Bengal united is a force,Bengal divided will go in different ways. That the Partition Plan is opposed by the Congress is its merit for us
