From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Also see Category:Viceroys of India)

This category includes both British governors-general of India before 1858 and the governors-general of India between 1947 and 1950. All viceroys were also governors-general. In 1950, the duties and functions of the king of India and governor-general of India were merged in to a president of India.

After partition of the Indian Empire in 1947, the Muslim areas were taken over by a governor-general of Pakistan.
