lets do this since every one knows section 2 correctly set two or three questions from its part and post them here so that any one can answer and also in this way we revise also.Is this acceptable to salmanpakrocks since he is the person who created the post.
okay then Qs are the following.

1.why was bengal partitioned?(7)
2.Why was muslim league founded in 1906?(7)

this should be enough for one day or until these are not answered

these are easy
for Question 1
-Bengal was partitioned as it seemed sensibly to divide the province which had population of 85 million to religious grounds.
-Lord curzon wanted to Develop the backward areas of Bengal.
-British also wanted to break the strength of Congress and Hindu protest in that areas
-Lord Curzon wanted to develop friendly relations with the Muslims and wanted to win them over by giving them a majority province.

For Second Question
-Success of Simla Deputation showed that Muslims could communicate with the British with one voice.
-Congress was a Hindu Dominated body which only worked for the rights of Hindus. Most of the muslim realized that.
-Muslims could not depend on Congress for protection of their rights and thought that formation of Muslim political body was necessary.

For Question 1:
1 point. The backward areas were being exploited by Hindu monopolists. With the partition, the British wished to break their yoke, and thus contribute to Muslim prosperity in East Bengal.

For Question 2:
You missed out a very important point i.e. The Hindu reaction to the Partition of Bengal. It was hostile, and Muslims feared the worst. They believed if due to such a reaction, if British were forced to leave India (highly improbably, but still worth fearing), the Muslims would become a pathetic minority, and fall prey to Hindu Dominated India.
