    West Bengal as a single unit]
    • High population
    • To improve relation with the Muslims
    • Hindus were becoming stronger in
    Bengal and were giving tough time to

    Muslims led by the Aga Khan visited
    Viceroy Minto at Simla.

    1906? [7]

    2)Congress worked primarily for Hindu interests
    (to protect Political Rights)

    language instead of Urdu (to protect cultural
    rights)
    4)Extremist Groups like Arya Samaj did militant
    activities, converted Non Hindus (to protect

    Urdu from getting replaced with Hindi).

    Reforms of 1909?

    which was not in their favour.
    • The assassination attempt on the future Viceroy Lord Minto.
    • Congress supported the Hindus in their mission to reverse
    the partition of Bengal.
    • There was a change of government in Britain in 1910 who
    sent a new Viceroy, Lord Harding, to India who studied the
    political situation of the subcontinent and realized that the
    decision of the previous government regarding partition was
    ineffective.
