The Partition of Bengal in 1905 was announced by which Viceroy, and it gave a strong impetus to the Swadeshi movement?

Lord Curzon partitioned Bengal on 16 October 1905, officially for administrative convenience but widely seen as a move to divide Hindus and Muslims. The reaction was boycott and swadeshi. The partition was annulled in 1911 during the viceroyalty of Lord Hardinge, Minto handled the Morley-Minto reforms of 1909, and Ripon (1880-84) is remembered for local self-government.
