Answer

The official version (Government's argument) in favour of the Partition of Bengal were-

  1. Firstly, the Government regarded the size of the Province of Bengal to be too large to be properly administered by a single Provincial Government.
  2. Secondly, the Secretary to the Government of India noted that the Government was in favour of bringing all the Oriya, i.e., Oria-speaking people under the administration of Bengal.
