Question: “It was over-reaction of Hindus to the partition of the Bengal in 1905 that widened the gulf between Muslims and Hindus”. Comment.

Over-Reaction of Hindus to “The Partition of the Bengal” Widened the Gulf Between the Muslims and The Hindus

Introduction

For years the government of India and Home government had been telling the Muslims that the decision regarding the partition of Bengal was final and would not be reopened.
