Answer:
The Governor General Lord Curzon wanted to create a Muslim Majority in Bengal .
Explanation:
The Bengal was too large a province and hence the British justified by saying that it would be easier if they divide the state . It would be easy for administration .
The Bengal was also a nerve centre for nationalism . Hence British wanted to reduce the tide of nationalism .
The British followed a policy of Divide and Rule in this case . They followed the policy of appeasement towards the Muslims in order to get a strong political control over India .
This was effective and the British showed their strength by partitioning Bengal .
