The Partition of Bengal: Historical Context and Consequences

Skibidi bop, the British were lowkey scheming in 1905, partitioning Bengal to flex their control. They took Dhaka, Chittagong, and Myemnsingh, shipping them off to Assam like they were just goons in a toilet bowl of politics. With 85 million people jam-packed, Bengal was a sigma challenge for the Brits, so they decided to play divide and rule. Muslims got a little boost in East Bengal, but the Hindus were vibing in the West. This whole plot was to break Congress's power and keep the edge over the masses. Just a dank reminder that history is a wild ride, full of twists and turns.
