I want help with two of the questions, both relating to the Bengal partition.
Q1: Why Bengal was partitioned in 1906?
A1: (i) large population
(ii) clamp down the nationalist ideas (Bal Gangadhar Tilak)
(iii) to gain support of Muslim population in east Bengal

I am not sure about the (iii) reason. Is this reason wrong? My teacher says that instead of this reason, it should be the large area. But I think the reasons large area & large population are over-lapping.

Q2: Why was partition of Bengal reversed?
A2: (i) Hindu reaction
(ii) Swadeshi Movement
(iii) assassination attempt of future viceroy

Are these reasons correct?

And this point can be added to your 2nd answer that
vi) As a British attempt to restore good relations with Hindus.

Well for the 1st question..
your 1st and 2nd points are correct..:)
This question came in 2012..

In the marking key besides your two reasons it was included that 'Muslims saw it as a favor of British by granting muslims a muslim majority province.. while the Hindus saw it as an attempt by British working on their Divide and Rule policy.. I too dont know how is that a reason for the partition of Bengal.. But it was stated as i Quoted.
And it is wrong saying that British did the partition to favor muslims Particularly.. Because It is said nowhere.. It is only said that Muslims "saw" it.. or Hindus "saw" it..
No one knows what their actual intention was..:p

The third reason would be
3:In order to exploit fully the resources in bengal and to bring about agricultural and industrial prosperity in the province, the partition was considered.
4:The british decided to partition bengal so that the reforms they would introduce particularly in east bengal could be more effective..

I remember this point being written in the notes izmah brought, it was elaborated in such way..
3:There was a famine in orissa,part of bengal.This revealed the need of development there.Constructive measures had not been taken by the British as it was faraway from the centre.The famine in orissa not only made the lives miserable but also turned them against the british... therefore the british realised in order to introduce effective reforms they needed to partition the province.
4:during the mughal period the province of Bengal was a beautiful province and abundant in natural resources.However, during Bristish period the province was on a decline and suffered from agricultural and industrial backwardness . Therefore in order to exploit fully the resources of bengal and bring about agricultural and industrial prosperity, partition was considered.

4:The british decided to partition bengal so that the reforms they would introduce particularly in east bengal could be more effective..


Of the 54 million people in Bengal 42 million were Hindus. It seemed sensible to divide up
the province on religious grounds and also because it was becoming very large and
producing significant administrative problems. By doing this it was felt that the province
would be easier to administer especially at the time of a new British government in power.
The Hindus saw it as a policy of ‘Divide and Rule’, an attempt by the British to work against
the Hindus. The Muslims felt that it was a British attempt to recognise the Muslims after
years of mistrust and domination by the Hindus.

Well it is the Marking key for this question..:p
The question came in Oct/Nov 2012 session.

Okay answer to
Why was there so much opposition to the Government of India Act 1935? /7

1.low voting franchise.
2.it granted far less liberty then the indians hoped for.
3.British were already in a tight corner and if more opposition was done than they might gradually leave.. so the GOIA was criticized.


Check it please..:/

Okay here are the possible Questions and Answers of Chapter 9.

"Pakistan Movement 1940-1947"

Q1.Why did the Cripps Mission of 1942 Fail? /7
1.The Muslim League rejected the Mission’s proposals because the British did not agree to
Partition.
2. Congress rejected the Plan because it did not go far enough, demanding instead
immediate and full control over the central government.
3. The British were also negotiating from a weak position which Congress exploited by demanding Britain leave the sub-continent
immediately (‘Quit India’ movement).

Q2. Why Did the Gandhi Jinnah Talks Fail in 1944? /7
1. Gandhi only wanted to achieve independence first and foremost – partition discussions could follow later, whereas Jinnah wanted to settle the issue of partition first and before the British left. He knew that his bargaining position would be much weaker if he went along with Gandhi’s plan.
2. Gandhi insisted that he spoke for all Indians and couldn't accept the position of Muslims as being a separate nation. Hence independence for all Indians as a united nation was on his agenda. Jinnah was at odds with Gandhi and accused him of only speaking for Hindus, otherwise he would accept the idea of partition. He accused Gandhi of not accepting the two nation idea of partition.
3.Gandhi also wanted the central government to have control of key areas such as defense and foreign policy, whereas Jinnah wanted these issues to be dealt with by the provinces.

Q3.Why was Quit India Movement Formed in 1942? /7
1.Both Muslims and Hindus were to some extent united in their opposition to the Cripps Mission’s proposals.
2.The Muslims rejected them because the British would not agree to Partition and the Congress Party wanted immediate and full control over the central government.
3.The British were also negotiating from a weak position which the Congress Party exploited by demanding Britain leave the sub-continent immediately. As a result Gandhi began the Movement
