A mockery of history
There have been many
events in history that can be called nothing but irony or pranks. During the
British period, a similar incident happened in the history of India which can
be called nothing but the irony of history.

Fuller, an ICS officer who was George Nathaniel Curzon's accomplice in the 1905
Bengal Partition Conspiracy, was first promoted to the rank of Lieutenant
Governor of East Bengal and Assam. After that, he assumed the image of Rudra in
suppressing the Swadeshi movement. When the boys of 2 schools of Sirajganj in
East Bengal joined the anti-partition movement, he sent a letter to the
Viceroy's Council to cancel the recognition of those two schools. But the
council canceled it in one word. In protest, Fuller submitted his resignation
letter on August 20, 1906. He was removed as lieutenant governor under pressure
from the viceroy and members of the council.
