	Governor-General of India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Governor-General of India (or Governor-General and Viceroy of India) was the head of the British administration in India.
		However, much of British India was not ruled directly by the government; the territory was divided into hundreds of nominally sovereign princely states or "native states" whose relationship was not with the British government, but directly with the monarch.
		India became a secular republic in 1950; Pakistan became an Islamic one in 1956.
