Specific term required. Popular opposition to this policy action was compared to Catharine Macaulay’s 18th century account of the English Civil War’s outbreak in a politician’s memoir A Nation in Making. This policy action created a radical faction in the Surat Split. This action was called “settled fact” by its decision-maker, who enlisted Khwaja Salimullah to defend it. A popular self-sufficiency movement protesting this action was led by the “Lal Bal Pal” trio. That protest movement led to the Minto–Morley Reforms before Lord Hardinge undid this action completely. The (*) Swadeshi Movement formed to protest Lord Curzon taking this action to cool nationalist sentiment, and pushed the British to move their capital to Delhi from Kolkata. For 10 points, name this decision taken to split, on religious lines, a namesake Presidency into “East” and “West” states. ■END■
