drishtiias.com/printpdf/governors-general-viceroys-of-india

Introduction
British rule over India started as a trading unit, when East India Company received a Royal
Charter from Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600. Within a time period of nearly three
centuries, the British turned from a trading power to one of the most powerful countries in
the world.

Even after being a small island country, Britain was able to establish one of the largest
empires in the world. The extent of the empire can be depicted by the phrase that "the
empire on which the Sun never sets”.

Britain was able to achieve this tremendous feat on the backdrop of the strong and efficient
bureaucracy that it established in its colonies. In India, the British were able to establish
this control through Governor-General & Viceroys.

Governor-General of Bengal (1773-1833): When East India Company came to

India, it controlled Bengal through a post named as "Governor of Bengal" (first
Governor of Bengal: Robert Clive).
Other Presidencies, Bombay and Madras, had their own Governor.
However, after the passing of Regulating Act 1773, the post of Governor
of Bengal was converted into "Governor-General of Bengal" (first
Governor-General of Bengal was Warren Hastings).
Through this Act Governor of Bombay and Madras worked under the Governor-
General of Bengal.
Governor-General of India (1833-58): By Charter Act of 1833, the post name
of Governor-General of Bengal again converted into "Governor-General of
India" (first Governor-General of India was William Bentinck.
This post was mainly for administrative purposes and reported to the Court of
Directors of the East India Company.

1/6
 Viceroy (1858-1947): After the revolt of 1857, the company rule was abolished and
India came under the direct control of the British crown.
Government of India Act 1858 passed which changed the name of post-
Governor General of India by Viceroy of India.
The Viceroy was appointed directly by the British government.
The first Viceroy of India was Lord Canning.
