Firstly, the control of the Indian Government was finally assumed by the crown. The Governor-General received the new title of viceroy. The assumption of the government of India by the sovereign of Great Britain was announced by Lord Canning at a darbar of Allahabad in a proclamation issued on 1st November, 1858, in the name of Queen. The Queen’s proclamation, described as the magna Carta of the Indian people, disclaimed all desire for the extension of British territorial possession in India.
· Secondly, the army which took the initiative in the out-break was thoroughly reorganized; and for the next fifty years, “The idea of division and counterpoise” dominated the British military policy in India. The presidency armies were kept entirely separate till 1893; the European element in them was strengthened and placed in sole charge of some essential services; and the number of European soldiers was increased.
· Thirdly, the British government now took up a new attitude towards the Indian states. These states were henceforth to recognize the paramount of the British crown and were to be considered as parts of a single charge.
