Why isn't the 2nd Earl of Lytton included in this list? According to his bio he served briefly (1925) as viceroy, and the articles on the Earl of Reading and Lord Irwin list him as successor and predecessor, respectively. Favonian ( talk) 20:49, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Why is Shah Shuja characterised as a "cruel Afghan traitor"? That is an interpretation of Shuja which, whatever its merits, has not place in an encyclopaedia. Likewise, the defeat of the British Invasion of Afghanistan is attributed to "Strong" Afghan army. This again is an interpretation and not a fact. These are minor points but they suggest a worrying bias which may be present in other parts of this entry. I hope someone can review the whole entry and try to improve it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David chaffetz ( talk • contribs) 15:25, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
... the deal here? I created two sections in the Company rule in India and British Raj pages with lists of the G-Gs and Viceroys. People who over the years have attempted to stamp vanilla symbols of British royalty on those pages have got nowhere. Someone seems to have stolen those sections and created a new page, a blatant content fork if not also a POV fork, where they can indulge in the royalist fetish. Please don't tell me that WP allows copying. It does in the aid of encyclopedia building, not creating your own little domains of fantasy. Please remove that gratuitous last column; otherwise, I will do so in a week. If you want to add the prime ministers who actually made the appointments with the constitutional monarchs rubber-stamped, be my guest; but, the royals have to go.
