Governors General and Viceroys of British India 1773-1947
Name the Governors General and Viceroys of India from 1773 to Indian independence in 1947. Dates in Blue apply to Governors General, who ruled when India was ruled by the East India Company; dates in Red apply to Viceroys, who ruled when India was under the British Crown following the Government of India Act 1858 until Indian Independence in 1947.
