Which Viceroy announced Partition of Bengal in 1905?

Lord Curzon

The correct answer is Option 1 - Lord Curzon

The Viceroy who announced the Partition of Bengal in 1905 was Lord Curzon. The Partition of Bengal was a highly controversial decision that divided the province of Bengal into two parts: East Bengal and Assam, and West Bengal. The partition was widely seen as an attempt by the British to weaken the Indian nationalist movement by dividing Hindus and Muslims along religious lines.

The Partition of Bengal met with fierce opposition from the Indian people, and it led to a number of protests and demonstrations. The Swadeshi Movement and the Boycott Movement were two of the most important mass movements that emerged in response to the partition.

The Partition of Bengal was eventually revoked in 1911, but the damage had already been done. The partition had deepened religious divisions in India and had strengthened the Indian nationalist movement.
