Bengal's division played the most influential role in influencing and changing the goals and methods of the national movement. Bengal was the largest province of India at that time, which included parts of entire Bihar and Orissa. Bengal's population at that time was 7.7 million. It was being said that it is difficult to handle the administration of such large provinces, so its division is necessary.
National movement in Bengal was strong By dividing the province of thought of the British rulers, they will succeed in weakening the movement. And the second objective of the British was to create divisions among Hindus and Muslims. They began to say that Muslims will have a majority in the new province, hence it will be in their interest. The British thought that in this way they would have succeeded in separating the Muslims from the national movement. The decision to divide Bengal was announced on July 20, 1904, which resulted in the beginning of the indigenous movement in Town Hall, on 7 August 19 hundred and five BC.
With the announcement of Bengal Curzon on 16 October 1905, the division became effective. The movement against it is known as the Anti-Bribery Movement Movement. In the partition, the Eastern parts of Bengal were separated with Assam and thus it became a new province of East Bengal and Assam. Division was given work on 16 October 1905.
