The partition of Bengal in 1905, executed by the British colonial government, aimed to divide the region along religious lines, creating a separate province for Muslims. This decision sparked widespread protests and nationalist movements, particularly among Hindus, leading to increased communal tensions and a sense of unity among various Indian nationalist groups against British rule. The backlash ultimately resulted in the reversal of the partition in 1911, but it laid the groundwork for future communal divisions and conflicts in India. The event also heightened political awareness and activism, contributing to the broader struggle for independence.

The partition of Bengal took place in British India in 1905.
