Answer 1

Lord Curzon justified the partition of Bengal by telling that it was necessary to do it for good administration.It was not able for a single person to control such a large area with high density of population.This was the official reason stated by him.

He justified the partition of bengal by saying admistrative problems of the large bengal province. But the real reason was the "Divide and Rule" policy of the british and breaking the unity among hindus and muslims to make British empire strong in india
