Explanation

Lord Curzon partitioned Bengal on 16th October 1905, dividing it along Hindu-Muslim lines for administrative reasons (but widely seen as divide-and-rule policy). This triggered massive protests and the Swadeshi movement. The other dates correspond to different events: 1946 (Direct Action Day), 1939 (Day of Deliverance), 1919 (Jallianwala Bagh).
