Annulment of Partition (Continued: Pakistan Movement)

Annulment of Partition, 1911

The vigorous Hindu agitation rocked the government which could not withstand the extreme pressure of the movement. The Hindus threatened the government to boycott the forthcoming tour of King George to India. The threat proved successful and the British Government surrendered in front of the Hindu agitation. The partition of Bengal was ultimately annulled by a royal announcement by his Majesty King George V ( five) on 12 December 1911, at the occasion of his coronation at Delhi Durbar.
