About — Partition of Bengal 1905
The Partition of Bengal in 1905 was a British decision that divided the Bengal Presidency into Muslim‑majority Eastern Bengal and Assam and Hindu‑majority Western Bengal. It sparked widespread nationalist protest, uniting diverse groups in the Swadeshi movement that boycotted British goods. The partition was repealed in 1911 after sustained agitation, showing mass political mobilization's impact.
