Explanation
Governor-General of Presidency of Fort William in Bengal (under Regulating Act, 1773): This title refers to the position created by the Regulating Act of 1773, with Warren Hastings as the first appointee. However, in this case, Lord Cornwallis (Charles Cornwallis) is relevant because of his significant tenure under the same title. Governor-General of India (under Charter Act, 1833):
The Charter Act of 1833 centralized administration and established the title of Governor-General of India, with Lord William Bentinck being the first. In this context, Lord Dalhousie (James Andrew Broun-Ramsay), a later Governor-General, aligns with this description. Governor-General and Viceroy of India (under Indian Council Act, 1858): The Indian Council Act of 1858 replaced the East India Company’s rule with direct Crown governance. Lord Canning was the first to hold this dual role. The relevant entry in the list is Lord Minto (Gilbert John Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound). Governor-General and Crown Representative (under Government of India Act, 1935): This Act retained the Governor-General as the Crown’s representative in India. The relevant figure here is Lord Wavell (Archibald Percival Wavell), although Lord Mountbatten succeeded him shortly before independence.
