Solution
The correct option is C Statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is correct
The Partition of Bengal highlighted the British strategy of "Divide and Rule" where the divide between Muslims and Hindus was manipulated in order to allow the British to exert more power over the new provinces. By demonstrating a difference in religion, the British began extending control over other parts of the country. This weakened the united front put up by Indians, leading to generations of communal tension.
