The partition of Bengal was originally implemented in 1905
It was carried out by Lord Curzon, who served as Viceroy of India
The partition divided Bengal along religious lines, separating Hindu and Muslim populations
The cancellation in 1911 came after significant protests and anti-partition movements (known as the Swadeshi movement)
When the partition was annulled, a new arrangement was made that created Bengal and Bihar-Orissa as separate provinces, and a new capital was established at Delhi instead of Calcutta
