Anti Partition Movement
SOLUTION
British, who ruled India for nearly a hundred years stayed on in the idea to divide and rule India. The unity of India was destroyed by creating indifferences in political, cultural and religious grounds. Partition of Bengal was such a political idea of the British to divide and rule India.
They wanted to make problems in the name of religious sentiments. Lord Curzon divided the territories of Bengal in this way:
• Western part formed the Hindu majority area
• Eastern part formed the Muslim majority area.
The partition of Bengal ultimately took place on 16th October 1905. The group of protest movements that happened against the Bengal partition is called the anti-partition movement.
