In which month of 1905 was the 'Partition of Bengal' declared?

Correct answer: (a) July

Explanation

The Partition of Bengal was announced (declared) on 19–20 July 1905, in the time of Lord Curzon. It came into force on 16 October 1905, which was observed as a day of mourning: people fasted, tied rakhis as a sign of unity and sang "Amar Sonar Bangla".

The province was divided into Bengal (with Bihar and Orissa) and Eastern Bengal and Assam, with its capital at Dacca. The partition was annulled in 1911.
