After partition they were fully recognised in East Bengal province where they were the majority;The separation of Bengal along religious lines ended the oppression of Muslims under Hindu rule.Lack of success
Bengali Hindu groups objected. They believed that the partition was a deliberate British policy to ‘divide and rule’. Hindus believed that partition would weaken Hindu unity and influence in East Bengal;Many Hindus protested.
