Queen's proclamation 1858 abolished company rule and brought India under the direct control of British government. To serve this purpose the post of viceroy was created. Lord Canning was the last governor-general and first viceroy of India.

The meaning of AD is Anno Domini or Year of our Lord referring to the year of Christ's birth. The meaning of BC is Before Christ. CE is a recent term.
It refers to Common Era and is used in place of AD. The dates are the same i.e., 2009 AD is 2009 CE. BCE means Before Common Era. For example 400 BC is 400 BCE.
