Q1. Why was Bengal divided?
Ans: The actual partition of Bengal was done with the best of intentions of Lord
Curzon. He felt that the partition would make it easier to administer the very different
eastern and western regions of Bengal. Although this was welcomed by the Muslims,
the news was greeted with rioting and violence by land-owning Hindus because they
realized that much of their source of income would then disappear.
Q2. Write a note on the khilafat Movement?

Ans: Muslims had been told that the victorious allies in Europe were about to depose
the sultan of turkey who was a caliph. Though the Indian Muslims had no real contact
with him, they felt that this was an attempt to destroy Islam. The brothers Maulana
Muhammad Ali and Maulana Shaukat Ali were instrumental figures in the Khilafat
movement. The aim of the movement was to support the caliphate in turkey. Gandhi,
seeing this as a way to gain the cooperation of the Muslim community, threw himself
wholeheartedly into the campaign. As it happened, the whole movement collapsed
when the Turkish leader, Ataturk, a hero among Indian Muslims, overthrew the caliph
himself and made Turkey into a republic.
