This could have caused tensions between the British and local Indians as Indians had no say in this political ambush. 

These changing viewpoints could have sparked the Indian nationalistic movement.  

This led to the Congress creating anti-partition protests in both rallies and press, along with petitions and a boycott of British  goods.

In response, the British powers put large numbers of Bengalis in prison and gave reforms to the Indians, who had some  representation in the government. Muslims were given separate representation - separate electorates and reserved seats. Bengal was reunited as one province, and the capital was changed from Calcutta to Delhi (Cambridge, p59).

Importance:  The nationalists realised the importance of an economic boycott and how that led to political power. Additionally, nationalist leaders across India were united on the Bengali case, which led to public favouring of more radical leaders who encouraged more active rebellion against the British colonial power. However, the uniting of Bengal deescalated the situation and restored less radical Congress leaders back into power. 

The divide between Muslims and Indians had begun, a move which would shape future political decisions

Food production could not keep up with the high population growth rate. India struggled as a result of the Great Depression, followed by the Wall Street Crash. Overseas markets for India’s export declined and price of crops dropped. This created unmanageable debts for Indian peasants, and they were thrown off their land, creating a mass of rural unemployed peasants. This led millions of rural peasants to move to cities, only to add to the number of urban unemployed (Cambridge, p64).  

Importance:  With severe economic struggles, it led to the civil unrest of the 1930s. Dissatisfied and unemployed people joined the growing Indian Nationalist group. The Indian Nationalist group had growing support from civilians which can lead to more political power (Cambridge, p64).
