Explanation:

The Partition of Bengal (1905) was carried out by Lord Curzon to divide Bengal into two provinces: East Bengal (Muslim majority) and West Bengal (Hindu majority).

The decision faced massive opposition, particularly from the Hindu nationalist movements.

Due to continuous protests and the Swadeshi Movement, the British government reversed the partition.

On December 12, 1911, during the Delhi Durbar, King George V announced the annulment of the partition.

As a result, Bengal was reunited in 1912, and the capital of British India was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi.
