[d] Peasants in most parts didn't actively join boycott or passive resistance but many though meetings, constructive works, etc. were exposed for the first time to modem nationalist ideas and politics. The students of some colleges in Rangpur defied the Government orders and when they were fined, the guardians refused to pay the fine and stabled a national school for the boys who were expelled. Teachers were also asked to resign for not whipping the boys. With real objective as second one but declared objective as first one. Lord Curzon decided to partition Bengal into two entities, which would result in a Muslim majority in the eastern half, and a Hindu-majority in the western half. This he hoped would reduce the administrative pressures as well divide the population on religious grounds, quelling the Indian Independence Movement.
