British wanted division of Bengal for efficient administration (according to them). In reality, they were following the policy of divide and rule by separating Hindu Muslim.

Bengal was the primary competitor for British produce to sell in Asian markets. Hence they weakened Bengal by partitioning it and thus improved prospects for British produce in Asian markets.
