Explanation
Chakravarti Rajagopalachari (popularly known as Rajaji) was the last Governor-General of India. After India gained independence in 1947, Lord Mountbatten served as the first Governor-General of the Dominion of India until June 1948. He was succeeded by C. Rajagopalachari, who held the office from June 21, 1948, to January 26, 1950.
- Rajaji was the only Indian national to ever hold the post of Governor-General.
- The office was permanently abolished on January 26, 1950, when the Constitution of India came into effect, transforming India into a Republic.
- With the commencement of the Republic, the office of the Governor-General was replaced by the President of India, with Dr. Rajendra Prasad becoming the first President.
Lord Wavell and Lord Linlithgow served as Viceroys during the British colonial period prior to Mountbatten's tenure.
