1905

Lord Curzon and the new Governor of Bengal, Andrew Fraser, announce the Partition of Bengal, ostensibly for the development of Assam. Partly in response, the Indian National COngress launches the Swadeshi Movement on 7 August, calling for a boycott of all foreign manufactured goods. Lord Minto becomes Viceroy.

J.F.Madan turns producer with Jyotish Sarkar's film of a protest rally against Partition.
