Partition of bengal history
The document discusses the 1905 Partition of Bengal by the British and the nationalist movement that arose in opposition. It notes that the official reason for partition was for administrative purposes, but the real motive was political - to undermine Bengali nationalism and implement a divide and rule strategy between Hindus and Muslims. This sparked widespread protests through non-violent means like boycotts and the Swadeshi movement. While the movement lost momentum due to British repression, it significantly strengthened Indian nationalism and was an important event in the independence struggle.
