Which community strongly opposed the partition of Bengal? Answer: Hindu

The Hindu community strongly opposed the partition of Bengal, fearing it would diminish their political power and was a "divide and rule" tactic by the British. This opposition led to the Swadeshi movement, a mass protest that included boycotts of British goods and a "Day of Mourning" on October 16, 1905, when the partition was enacted.
