The Partition of Bengal in 1905 was carried out under which Viceroy?
Lord Curzon
The Partition of Bengal was announced in July 1905 and came into effect on 16 October 1905 under Viceroy Lord Curzon.
It was officially justified on administrative grounds but was seen as a 'divide and rule' move; it led to the Swadeshi and Boycott movement and was annulled in 1911 under Lord Hardinge II.
Lord Ripon is linked with local self-government and the Ilbert Bill, Lord Lytton with the Vernacular Press Act (1878), and Lord Dalhousie with the Doctrine of Lapse.
Hence, Lord Curzon.
