Layout, widget
In 1858 the control of [[British India]] was transferred to the Crown whose representative was the [[Governor-General]] otherwise known as the Viceroy. The land was divided into Provinces under local administrations. At the turn of the 20th century the division was as follows:<br>
'''Major Provinces''' comprising the older provinces which had enjoyed a longer period of settled government. They were headed by a Governor or Lieutenant-Governor (except Central Provinces) and were [[Bengal (Province)|Bengal]], [[Madras (Province)|Madras]], [[Bombay (Province)|Bombay]], [[United Provinces]], [[Central Provinces]], [[Punjab]], [[Assam]] and [[Burma]].<br>
The provinces were further broken down into [[Divisions]] each of which had a number of Districts.
