	Lord William Bentinck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bentinck, the second son of the 3rd Duke of Portland joined the Coldstream Guards in 1791, rising to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
		A Whig, Bentinck used this position to meddle in internal Sicilian affairs, effecting the King's withdrawal from government in favor of his son, the Crown Prince, the reactionary queen's disgrace, and an attempt to devise a constitutional government for the troubled island, all of which ultimately ended in failure.
		Bentinck returned to the UK in 1835, refusing a peerage, and again entered the House of Commons as a member for the Glasgow constituency, in Scotland.

	thePeerage.com - Exhibit
		Bentinck, Lord William Cavendish 1774-1839, governor-general of India, second son of William Henry, third Duke of Portland [qv.], was born 14 Sept. 1774.
		Bentinck was next appointed, with the rank of lieutenant-general, to command a division in Sir Arthur Wellesley's army; but he appears shortly afterwards to have been sent to Germany to make arrangements for raising a German contingent, which was subsequently employed under his command in Sicily and on the east coast of Spain.
		Bentinck's first duty was to devise means of reducing the expenses in every branch of the administration which was susceptible of reduction, and although in carrying out this duty he was merely obeying the repeated orders of the court of directors, the result for a time was much personal unpopularity.

		Lord William Cavendish Bentinck (1774-1839), the second son in an aristocratic, landed family, had entered the British army.
		In 1807 the directors of the English East India Company had decided that Lord Bentinck, then the youthful governor of Madras, was personally responsible for a mutiny among Indian soldiers or sepoys in the British Indian army in Vellore, Madras, over the issue of European headgear that was thought to infringe on Hindu religious customs.
		Lord Bentinck was assisted by an Executive Council of three other British officers in formulating the policies to govern the Company’s political possessions in India.

		Almost until the arrival of Lord William Bentinck in 1828 as the Governor General, which symbolized the Evangelical take-over of the East India Company, the mainstream British attitude toward India did not favour a struggle for its improvement; involvement in India should kept to a minimum.
		Lord Macaulay, an outstanding historian of the nineteenth century, described the East India Company during the initial phase of its rule in Bengal as ‘a gang of public robbers.’ Clive, who won Bengal for the Company, had himself taken a bribe of two hundred thousand pounds from the puppet he installed as the Nawab.
		William Carey shared Charles Grant’s belief that our moral rebellion is at the root of our human problems. Human misery is neither a result of Avidhya (ignorance of our divinity), nor is it a product of kama (desire). It is a result of human refusal to live under the moral authority of our heavenly Father.

		Had Lord Wellesley remained Governor-General a year longer Carey would have succeeded in 1808, instead of having to wait till 1829, and to know as he waited and prayed that literally every day saw the devilish smoke ascending along the banks of the Ganges, and the rivers and pools considered sacred by the Hindoos.
		Lord Wellesley's long and brilliant administration of eight years was virtually at an end: in seven days he was to embark for home.
		This Lord Wellesley indignantly refused to sanction, and it was passed by Sir George Barlow in spite of the protests of Carey's friend, Udny.

		And then when he had gone to India, and was appointed by Lord Wellesley to a lucrative and honourable station in the college of Fort William, with equal nobleness of mind he made over all his salary (between £1000 and £1500 per annum) to the general objects of the mission.

		Lord William Bentinck, having begun his reign with the abolition of the crime of suttee, was, with the help of Carey’s old students, steadily carrying out the other reforms for which in all his Indian career the missionary had prayed and preached and published.
		During the several years he held the situation of professor to the college, no consideration would allow him to neglect his attendance; and though he had to encounter boisterous weather in crossing the river at unseasonable hours, he was punctual in his attendance, and never applied for leave of absence.
		As the Founder and Father of Modern Missions, the character and career of William Carey are being revealed every year in the progress, and as yet, the purity of the expansion of the Church and of the English-speaking races in the two-thirds of the world which are still outside of Christendom.
