Story of the Bengal Partition and its reversal
Page from The Graphic showing two maps of North East India. The top map shows Bengal partitioned in 1905, when a large part of its former area in the east was united with Assam to form the new province of Eastern Bengal and Assam. The bottom map shows the rearrangement of Bengal boundaries after the Delhi Durbar of 1911, when the five Bengali-speaking divisions of Burdwan, Rajshai, Dacca, Chittagong and the Presidency were formed into a Presidency administered by a Governor. Top left of the page shows Lord Curzon who carried out the Partition in 1905. Top right shows Lord Hardinge who recommended a reversal of Curzons policy. Date: 1911
