In which year was the Bengal Partition of 1905 reversed?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 1911.
The Partition of Bengal, initially carried out by the British in 1905, was reversed in 1911 due to widespread protests and the Swadeshi Movement. The partition had divided Bengal into Eastern Bengal and Assam (Muslim-majority) and Western Bengal (Hindu-majority), aiming to weaken nationalist movements. Intense political agitation, boycotts of British goods, and mass mobilization by Indian leaders like Surendranath Banerjee and Rabindranath Tagore pressured the British government to annul the partition, reuniting Bengal.
