Detailed Solution

The first Governor-General of India was Warren Hastings. British historians started writing historical books during the first Governor General's rule. Lord Mountbatten was the last Viceroy of India. The arrival of the British in India made British historians write books, but they wrote only about the Governors-General and British rule in India. Some of the Governors-General and Viceroy were Hastings, Dalhousie, Lytton, Harding, and Irwin. In books of British historians, everything was about the Governors-General, and they did not mention any theories and incidents of the country's people. It shows that there was nothing important except the Governors-General and their lives. British historians' books were based on their achievements, policies, activities, and personalities. These books are all about the power and achievements of the British government.
