How did the Nationalists interpret Lord Curzon’s motives?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The Indian Nationalists interpreted this as follows:
- Bengal was the nerve center of Indian nationalism at the time. So the British hoped to stop the rising tide of nationalism by partitioning Bengal.
- The partition of Bengal intended to curb Bengali influence by not only placing Bengalis under two administrations but by reducing them to a minority in Bengal itself.
- The partition was meant to foster division on the basis of religion. East Bengal would be predominately a Muslim majority state and west Bengal a Hindu majority state.
- It was considered as a price for Muslim League’s loyalty towards British.
