In 1905, Bengal was partitioned. Bengal was a big province in British India that included Bihar and parts of Orissa at that time. In 1905 Bengal was partitioned by the viceroy of India Lord Curzon. The British presented many reasons for the partition of Bengal, they said that Bengal was partitioned for administrative convenience. They partitioned Bengal for the interest of British officials and businessmen. They not only removed the non-Bangali area from the province but also the Bengali areas.
