The partition of Bengal,said Lord Curzon,was a "mere readjustment of administrative boundaries".The argument advanced in favour of the partition was that it would improve the administration of the two provinces.But there were some evil moti...ves for this action.
1.To Strike at the roots of Bengali Nationalism:The real motive was to break "the growing solidarityof Bengali nationalism".Bengal at that time was considered to be "the nerve-centre of India nationalism". Lord Curzon decided to crush the new spirit by Dividing the politically advanced communities into separate provinces.
2.The Policy Of Divide & Rule:Another motive was to drive a wedge between the Hindus and the Muslims .In February 1904,Curzon went on a tour of East Bengal,where he addressed a number of meetings.He explained the muslims that "His object in partitioning Bengal was not only to relieve the Bengal administration,but also to create a Mohammedan province".
3.To demonstrate the strength of the British Raj:Lord Curzon was reactionary,having great dislike for democratic ideals.He believed that people of India,illiterate as the were,could have no political aspiration.See more
