Partition of Bengal

The document discusses the 1905 partition of Bengal by the British which divided the province into two - East Bengal and West Bengal. It led to opposition from Hindus but support from some Muslims as it improved development, education, and economic opportunities for Muslims in East Bengal. However, the partition was annulled in 1911 due to growing agitation. This caused frustration among Muslims but celebration among Hindus. The political effects continued afterward.
