Answer» The decision to effect the Partition of Bengal was announced on 19 July 1905 by the Viceroy of India Curzon. The partition took place on 16 October 1905 and separated the largely Muslim eastern areas from the largely Hindu western areas. Main reasons for partition of Bengal are as follows: 1)Governor of British in India observed that it was the vast territory, so administration didn’t function properly. It needs a fragmentation or division of British-India in its territorial boundary. 2)Muslims were in favor of this partition relieving them from lower condition under the Hindu hegemony.
