Secretary of State for India

The office of Secretary of State for India or India Secretary was created in 1858 when India was brought under direct British rule (British Raj). It was the cabinet office responsible for the government of India. In 1935, the Burma Office was added; the same Secretary of State served both Departments, known as the Secretary of State for India and Burma. The India Office came to an end in 1947, when India became independent; Burma received its independence early the next year.
