भारत में गवर्नर-जनरल के पद को वायसराय के रूप में कब स्थापित किया गया?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Year 1858 / वर्ष 1858
Explanation / व्याख्या:
The designation of the Governor-General was changed to Viceroy in 1858 after the passing of the Government of India Act 1858. This happened after the Revolt of 1857, when the British Crown took direct control over India from the East India Company. The Governor-General now acted as the representative of the British Crown, hence called the Viceroy.
गवर्नर-जनरल के पद को 1858 में वायसराय में बदला गया, जब Government of India Act 1858 पारित किया गया। यह परिवर्तन 1857 का विद्रोह के बाद हुआ, जब भारत का शासन ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी से लेकर सीधे ब्रिटिश क्राउन के हाथ में चला गया। अब गवर्नर-जनरल, ब्रिटिश सम्राट का प्रतिनिधि बन गया, जिसे वायसराय कहा गया।
