16 Okt 1905 Jahr - Partition of Bengal

Beschreibung:

The Viceroy and Governor-General, Lord Curzon, ordered the partition of Bengal in 1905. He argued that the partition would lead to a better administration and ease the rising conflict between the Hindus and the Muslims. Others believed that Lord Curzon was trying to create a rift between Hindus and Muslims. This led to a large-scale protest against the British rule, including boycotting British products and publications of several rebellious newspapers and articles. The image attached is Muslim refugees crowding onto a train as they try to flee India near New Delhi.
