Lord Cornwallis: Architect of India’s Governance Evolution<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

General Charles Cornwallis, sometimes known as Lord Cornwallis, founded the Indian Civil Service<\/a>. Between 1753 and 1762, he had the title Viscount Brome, and from 1762 to 1792, Lord Cornwallis went by the name Earl Cornwallis. Following his return from America after the War of Independence, Lord Cornwallis was offered the position of Governor-General. With his selection, a new custom of selecting an aristocrat for the position of Governor-General was started. Lord Cornwallis was lucky to have a team of highly skilled and experienced individuals working for him, including Sir William Jones, John Shore, and James Grant. Even though Cornwallis began his job in a favourable environment, Lord Cornwallis had to implement his policies with considerable care.<\/span><\/p>\n
