Question

I am giving you a Muslim province- who said?

Answer: Option B
Lord Curzon was the Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905 and during his tenure he proposed the Partition of Bengal. On October 16, 1905, Lord Curzon announced his historic decision to partition Bengal, which was a Muslim majority province at that time.

Explanation:
• Lord Curzon was the Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905.
• He was appointed by the British Government with the responsibility of ruling India.
• As Viceroy, he was responsible for initiating many reforms in India.
• One of his reforms was the Partition of Bengal in 1905.
• Bengal was a Muslim majority province in India and Lord Curzon wanted to divide it into two provinces, East and West Bengal.
• The Partition of Bengal was announced on October 16, 1905 by Lord Curzon.
• The purpose of this partition was to reduce the political power of the Muslim majority in Bengal and to weaken the nationalist movement.
• The Partition of Bengal was met with strong opposition from the people of Bengal and eventually it was revoked in 1911.
• Even though the Partition of Bengal was revoked, it was an important step in the history of India and it laid the foundation for the eventual Partition of India in 1947.
• Thus, it can be concluded that Lord Curzon was the one who proposed the Partition of Bengal and it was him who said that he was giving a Muslim province.
