The correct answer is East Bengal and Assam Key Points After the partition of Bengal in 1905, the British Raj reorganized the Bengal Presidency, creating two new provinces: Bengal (which included modern-day West Bengal, Odisha, and Bihar) and Eastern Bengal and Assam. Eastern Bengal and Assam, with its capital at Dacca (now Dhaka, Bangladesh), was mainly composed of the Muslim-majority areas of the eastern region, while the new province of Bengal comprised primarily of the Hindu-majority western areas. This division was based on religious lines, effectively separating the largely Muslim eastern areas from the largely Hindu western areas The Partition of Bengal came into effect on 16 October, 1905 .
