Question

why was partition of bengal cancelled?

Answer 1

First lets see how the Bengal province was back then:



It included majority of the eastern and North eastern states.

The first partition of Bengal was in 1905, which was implemented to make administrating and governing easy for the Britishers.

The former province of Bengal was divided into two new provinces "Bengal" (comprising western Bengal as well as the province of Bihar and Orissa) and Eastern Bengal and Assam.

Britishers defended the Partition saying it was for administrative reasons since Bengal was geographically as large as France and had a significantly larger population.

The Muslims were in favor of the partition, as they thought East Bengal was being neglected and as they form the majority there, it would be an opportunity for the growth of infrastructure of the part. But Hindus were outraged at what they recognised as a "divide and rule" policy.

Following the partition, an anti-British movement formed in opposition to the Partition. This involved non-violent and violent protests, mass boycott of European goods and even an assassination attempt against the Governor of the new province of West Bengal. Bengal became a strong base of the Indian struggle for independence and gave rise to many freedon fighters.

Due to all these protests, the two parts of Bengal were reunited on 12 December 1911.

The province was again divided but this time on linguistic grounds. Hindi, Oriya and Assamese areas were separated to form separate administrative units: Bihar and Orissa Province was created to the west, and Assam province to the east. The administrative capital of British India was also moved from Calcutta to New Delhi.
