Exam Strategy

UPSC Prelims tests this as a factual recall topic, focusing on dates (1905), key figures (Curzon, Surendranath Banerjea), and the immediate triggers of extremism. Common mistake: confusing Bengal Partition with 1947 Partition; examiner tests understanding of administrative vs. communal partition and its role in radicalizing the Congress.
