Through trading they started to rule the place they were able to. They ruled their trading places within no time. And within three centuries they became the most powerful country in the world. A governor general was chosen to look after the fortification of William in Kolkata. Progressively, the representative came to work out more noteworthy specialists over all the regions managed by the East India Company. Taking after the Indian Resistance of 1857 and concerns over fumbles inside the East India Company, in 1858, control of the regions was passed to the crown. The title of emissary was presented and people were designated by the paramount council of the British government, rather than the Court of Executives of the East India Company. After autonomy in 1947, the title emissary was abandoned and in spite of the fact that governors kept on acting as agents of Ruler George VI, India and Pakistan were headed by their local governor-generals. Louis Mountbatten, Earl Mountbatten of Burma got to be governor-general and directed the move of British India to autonomy. Chakravarti Rajagopalachari (1878-1972) became the only Indian and final governor-general after freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rule of Viceroy directly under the Britain crown came into existence after the 1857 revolt. Before that governor general rule was there in India. Bengal, Mumbai and Madras presidencies had their own governor general. But the revolt 1857 brought viceroys rule in India making Lord Canning as the<strong> first viceroy of India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Viceroy (1858-1947): The company rule was abolished after the revolt of 1857 and India came under direct British control. An Act of Government of India passed in 1858 changed the name of the post to Viceroy of India from Governor General of India. In this case, the Viceroy was appointed directly by the British government. The f<strong>irst Viceroy of India<\/strong> was Lord Canning.<br><br><strong>First Viceroy and Last Viceroy of India<\/strong><br>The<strong> first viceroy <\/strong>and governor general of India was Warren Hastings. Whereas Lord Canning was the actual first viceroy of India.
