I want help with two of the questions, both relating to the Bengal partition.
Q1: Why Bengal was partitioned in 1906?
A1: (i) large population
(ii) clamp down the nationalist ideas (Bal Gangadhar Tilak)
(iii) to gain support of Muslim population in east Bengal
I am not sure about the (iii) reason. Is this reason wrong? My teacher says that instead of this reason, it should be the large area. But I think the reasons large area & large population are over-lapping.
Q2: Why was partition of Bengal reversed?
A2: (i) Hindu reaction
(ii) Swadeshi Movement
(iii) assassination attempt of future viceroy
Are these reasons correct?
And this point can be added to your 2nd answer that
vi) As a British attempt to restore good relations with Hindus.
