Answer:
1. British historians in India wrote about the Governor Generals and Viceroys who ruled India. Their History books contained the activities, policies and achievements of the Governor Generals and nothing more. All the recorded events with specific dates were linked to the lives of these Governor Generals.
2. Warren Hastings, (born December 6, 1732, Churchill, near Daylesford, Oxfordshire, England—died August 22, 1818, Daylesford), the first and most famous of the British governors-general of India, who dominated Indian affairs from 1772 to 1785 and was impeached (though acquitted) on his return to England.
3. Official records do not tell what other people in the country felt, and what lay behind their actions.
4. The history books were the source of deeds of Governor general whereas the biographies of the governor general glorified the Governor general as the person of good morality and the paintings of them further projected governor general as strong and powerful.
