why did British partition of bengal ?
Answers
Answer:
The first Partition of Bengal (1905) was a territorial reorganization of the Bengal Presidency implemented by the authorities of the British Raj. ... To appease Bengali sentiment, Bengal was reunited by Lord Hardinge in 1911, in response to the Swadeshi movement's riots in protest against the policy.
Explanation:
The Partition of Bengal was the decision of separating eastern parts of Bengal from rest of Bengal. It was announced on 19 July 1905 by the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon. The reason given for the decision was that Bengal with a population of 78 million had become too big to be administered which was true to some extent, but the real motives behind the partition plan were the British desire to weaken Bengal, the nerve centre of Indian nationalism and divide the Muslims and Hindus on the basis of religion.
Bengal was partitioned by lord Curzon .
he partitioned Bengal as he thought that Bengal was the centre of nationalism and hindu muslim unity which could have been very harmful for British if Bengal was not parted .
this is an example of divide and rule policy of British.
hope this helps.
