Q. Consider the following statements about the partition of Bengal (1905)
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: It was, perhaps, in the cultural sphere that the impact of the Swadeshi Movement was most marked. In Tamil Nadu, Subramania Bharati wrote Sudesha Geetham
Statement 2 is correct: Some participated — Barrister Abdul Rasul, Liaqat Hussain, Ghuznavi, Azad (who joined one of the revolutionary terrorist groups) — but most of the upper & middle-class Muslims stayed away or, led by Nawab Salimullah, supported partition as it would give them a Muslim-majority East Bengal. But the movement was not able to garner the support of the Muslims, especially the Muslim peasantry, because of a conscious government policy of divide & rule helped by the overlap of class & community at places.
