British Viceroy of India. Second son of the Duke of Portland, who served as Prime Minister. After serving in the army, he became Governor of Madras in 1803 (until 1806), Governor of Bengal in 1828, and then became the first Viceroy of India in 1833. During his rule, he employed Indian officials and acknowledged their involvement, but aimed to introduce European principles to India. He invited advisors such as Macaulay, who would later become a historian, to reform the administrative, judicial, and police systems, and promoted thorough English education. He also banned the practice of widow burning (sutti) and disbanded religious assassins. After returning to India in 1837, he became a member of the House of Representatives.
