Question

What was the reason given for the partition of bengal and what was the real reason​

Answer 1

Answer:

Though the official reason forwarded by the British government was that Bengal was too big a political unit and needed to be partitioned in order to be administered efficiently, the real reason behind the partition was that the British government wanted to drive a wedge between the Hindus and Muslims in the Bengal.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Lord Curzon's intention was to divide Bengalis, not Hindus from Muslims. The Western districts formed the other province with Orissa and Bihar. The union of western Bengal with Orissa and Bihar reduced the speakers of the Bengali language to a minority.
