in 1905
The partition of bengal by viceroy curzon in 1905,was to curtail influence of bengali politicians.
The first partition of Bengal took place in 1905.
Bangladesh was a provinc of Pakistan which hapend to separate frm Pakistan in 1971
Dont know thats why I am asking the answer to you
Anti partition movement took place on 16th october 1905 the effective day of the partition.
due to the administration problem the province of Bengal divided into two provinces one is Eastern Bengal and 2nd is Western Bengal. In Eastern Bengal majority is Muslim and in Western Bengal Minority is Muslim.
The Hindu community strongly opposed the 1905 Partition. The Hindu Swadeshi movement led to the country being reunited in 1911.
Remaining highly controversial and debatable the political notion was expressed that Indian subcontinent, specifically British India, contained three political and ethnic communities. These were from a Hindu, Muslim and the Raj. Based on these reasoning's a further and even more divisive theory was proposed that Hindus and Muslims are somehow "distinct civilizations" necessitating a two state solution. This was despite the fact that the communities coexisted for more than a millennia across South and Central Asia and the Indian Ocean regions. The exit of the British in 1947 from India came at the cost of a costly political solution partitioning the Punjab and Bengal based on sectarian lines. What ensued thereafter was a bloodbath and the largest single human exodus in history. In 1971 Bengal (then part of Pakistan) was invaded by the Indian Army and with its withdrawal came the formation of Bangladesh. For note, the Indian states of Bengal and the Punjab were partly retained during the partition.
