Partition of Bengal:

Lord Curzon, having a good administration remained the Viceroy

of Indian Sub-continent during 1899 to 1905. He partitioned the Province of Bengal in
1905 due to administration purpose. A Lieutenant Governor was appointed for the
administration. The population of Bengal was almost 70 million as it included the Bihar
and Orissa also. Millions of inhabitants were under privileged in Bengal and
surroundings. Economy was dominated or controlled by the capitalists of Calcutta at that
time. Lord Curzon divided it and created a new province of East Bengal. The new
province included Aasam, Dhaka, Raj Shahi and Chita Gaang Divisions. West Bengal
included the Areas of Bihar and Orissa, where the Hindus were in majority. Muslims
gained prosperity and happiness on this division as they were in benefit in the East
Bengal. Dhaka was the centre of Muslim culture and economy. This step of Curzon
ignited furry among the Hindus who never liked the progress of the Muslims. In response
to this, they demonstrated violence and launched Swadeshi Movement; against the
division of Bengal. The British, policemen and magistrates were killed in these bomb
blasts and attacks. The British were frightened by these activities of Hindus but the eyes
of Muslims were open in its response and they demanded for the Separate Electorate in
the very next year after the partition of Bengal.
