Explanation

The Partition of Bengal (1905) was annulled in 1911 by Lord Hardinge, who was Viceroy of India from 1910-1916. The annulment was partly due to widespread protests and political pressure from the Swadeshi movement. Lord Curzon had partitioned Bengal in 1905, while Lord Minto was Viceroy during the Surat Split.
