Lord Mountbatten was assassinated by the IRA (Irish Republican Army) 27 August 1979.
India broke free from British rule and gained their independence in 1947. Even though they gained their independence, the continued to us the British term, governor general. During the time of Indians independence, Louis Monttbatten held on for title for manu years.
The basic objective of appointing Lord Louis Mountbatten as Viceroy of India in 1947 was to oversee the transition of British India to independence and to manage the complex process of partitioning the country into India and Pakistan. His task included maintaining order during a tumultuous period, addressing communal tensions, and facilitating a smooth transfer of power. Mountbatten was expected to achieve this with speed, as the British government aimed to relinquish control by June 1948, which he later expedited to August 1947.
The British official who ruled in India was known as the Viceroy. The position was established in 1858 after the British Crown took direct control over India from the East India Company. Notable Viceroys include Lord Curzon and Lord Mountbatten, the latter being the last Viceroy who oversaw the transition to Indian independence in 1947.
