Question

In which year the partition of Bengal was cancelled?

• A. 1905
• B. 1909
• C. 1921
• D. 1911

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 1911

• The partition of Bengal was originally implemented in 1905

• It was carried out by Lord Curzon, who served as Viceroy of India

• The partition divided Bengal along religious lines, separating Hindu and Muslim populations

• The cancellation in 1911 came after significant protests and anti-partition movements (known as the Swadeshi movement)

• When the partition was annulled, a new arrangement was made that created Bengal and Bihar-Orissa as separate provinces, and a new capital was established at Delhi instead of Calcutta
