Who among the following was responsible for the partition of Bengal in 1905?

Lord Curzon

The correct answer is Option 4- Lord Curzon

The partition of Bengal in 1905 was carried out by Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905. The partition was announced on July 20, 1905, and it took effect on October 16, 1905.

The partition of Bengal was a controversial decision. The British government claimed that it was done for administrative convenience, but the Indian nationalists saw it as a deliberate attempt to divide the province on religious grounds. The partition created a new province of Eastern Bengal and Assam, which had a Muslim majority, and a new province of West Bengal, which had a Hindu majority.
