Appointments - Warren Hastings was appointed the Governor-General of Bengal , he took office on 20 October 1773, appointed by the Court of Directors of the East India Company. He was just the Director of the so called company which actually wanted to take control over all of Indian Princely States. Warren Hastings was actually the first Governor of the Presidency of Fort William, the head of the Supreme Council of Bengal( at the time of company rule), and thereby the de facto Governor-General from 1772 to 1785. At that time there was no British India, it was a Union of all Princely States. Technically Warren Hastings was just the Head of Supreme Council of Bengal and not of the all states.
