In which year was the Partition of Bengal implemented?

Correct answer: 1905

The Partition of Bengal was implemented in 1905 during British rule. The decision to divide Bengal produced strong political opposition because many people viewed it as an attempt to weaken unity and encourage division. The protest gave force to the Swadeshi Movement, through which people promoted Indian-made goods and opposed the use of foreign goods. Thus the year is remembered with an important phase of the national movement.

Option B, 1905, is correct. The other years do not match the implementation of the partition: 1897 was earlier, 1906 followed the event, and 1911 was the year in which the partition was annulled. A useful sequence is 1905 for partition, the Swadeshi response soon afterward, and 1911 for annulment. This chronology helps avoid confusing the date of implementation with the later withdrawal.
