Following demands by Nawab Sir Khwaja Salimullah Bahadur and others, in 2 February 1912 Viceroy Lord Hardinge proposed that a new University should be established in this partition of Bengal.
•
The establishment of the university was a compensation of the annulment of the 1905 Partition of Bengal.
•
The Partition of Bengal in 1905 provided the Muslim majority community of East Bengal and Assam with a sphere of influence of their own and raised new hopes for the development of the region and advancement of its people.
