Abstract: The historical partition of Bengal in 1905 was a momentous event in the history of Bengal. The significant impact of the partition had the subsequent socio-political history of Bengal and India. Hindu businessmen, lawyers, writers, scholars, zamindars, politicians and other professionals adamantly opposed partition and formed a series of powerful anti-partition movements. Educated Muslims accepted the partition because it provided them with new educational, economic, and political opportunities. This paper has examined the rationale behind the administrative reasons for the partition of Bengal in 1905, as well as how the anti-partition movement of Hindus in India developed and its reactionary far-reaching effects on the communal relations between Hindu and Muslim. Elites of Hindu and Muslim were split on the subject of partition like they had never been divided on any other public issue. The Anti-Partition movement of Congress Hindus, which started as a protest against the British government, quickly morphed into a smear campaign against Muslims who backed Partition. This article also aims at searching how this administrative division exposed the Hindu-Muslim sectarian divide in the Indian subcontinent, which led to the creation of India and Pakistan in 1947. It is a qualitative typed research paper based on a secondary source.
