The Bengal Partition refers to the division of the province of Bengal in British India in 1905. This partition was implemented by the British government, ostensibly for administrative reasons, but it was widely seen as a strategy to weaken the growing nationalist movement. The partition split Bengal into two parts: the predominantly Hindu western region and the predominantly Muslim eastern region, leading to significant political and social tensions. The partition was met with strong opposition from Indian nationalists, including leaders like Rabindranath Tagore and the Indian National Congress. Due to widespread protests and unrest, the British reversed the partition in 1911, reuniting Bengal. However, the division had lasting effects on communal relations and set the stage for future conflicts in the region.
