Canning, Charles John, 1st Earl (1812–62). Canning served as under‐secretary to Robert
Peel and as postmaster‐general to Lord
Aberdeen before being appointed governor‐general of India in 1856. His years in office were dominated by the
Indian mutiny of 1857. He recalled an army from China and insisted on military reconquest. Afterwards he resisted demands for widespread vengeance, earning the nickname ‘Clemency Canning’. His post‐mutiny policies centred on reorganizing the army and promoting the loyalty of Indians to Britain. He founded the first Indian universities, passed tenancy legislation, guaranteed the continuity of princely states, and banned interference in Indian religion and custom.
