India Office

Japanese: インド省 - インドしょう(英語表記)India Office
India Office
An office established for the British colonial administration of India. When the direct rule of the British King began in 1858, it was launched as one of the administrative departments. It was headed by the Secretary of State for India and handled administrative affairs in the home country. The India Council was established under it as a deliberative body with the power to restrict the actions of the Secretary of State for India. The expenses of the India Office and the Council were borne by the colony. There was no significant change in the role of the India Office after that, but in 1919, the expenses related to the administration of India began to be borne by the home country, the composition and power of the Council was reduced, and the power of the Minister was also revised. In addition, a High Commissioner for India was established in the UK, and the duties of the Indian Government's representative in the home country were transferred to him. The Council was dissolved by the "Government Act" of 1935, and the power of the Minister was also reduced. This continued until the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947.

イギリスのインド植民地統治のため設置された官庁。 1858年イギリス国王の直接統治が開始されると,行政部門の一つとして発足した。インド担当国務大臣が統括し,本国における統治事務を処理した。そのもとに審議機関としてインド評議会がおかれ,インド担当国務大臣の行動を制限する権限があった。インド省,評議会の経費は植民地側が負担した。その後インド省の役割に大きな変化はなかったが,1919年にはインド統治に関する経費は本国側が負担するようになり,参事会の構成と権限は縮小,大臣の権限についても修正された。さらにイギリス駐在インド高等弁務官をおいて,インド政庁の本国における代理者の職務をこれに移管した。 35年の「統治法」により評議会が解散され,同時に大臣の権限も縮小された。以後 47年インド,パキスタンの分離独立まで続いた。
