EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from The Graphic showcases the significant historical events of the Bengal Partition and its subsequent reversal in 1905 and 1911. The top map illustrates the division of Bengal, a large portion of which was united with Assam to form the new province of Eastern Bengal and Assam under the governance of Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India at the time. The bottom map depicts the rearrangement of Bengal's boundaries following the Delhi Durbar of 1911, during which the five Bengali-speaking divisions of Burdwan, Rajshahi, Dacca, Chittagong, and the Presidency were reunited into a single Presidency, governed by a Governor-General. Lord Curzon's partition of Bengal was a controversial decision aimed at addressing the administrative challenges of governing such a vast and diverse population. However, it sparked widespread protests and unrest among the Bengali population, leading to the Swadeshi movement and the Quit India agitation. Lord Hardinge, who succeeded Curzon as Viceroy, recognized the need for reconciliation and recommended the reversal of the partition policy. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex political landscape of colonial India and the profound impact of British rule on its diverse population.
