Linlithgow, Victor Alexander John Hope, 2nd Marquis (1887–1952). Linlithgow was born in Scotland and educated at Eton. His connection with India developed through his chairmanship of the Royal Commission on Agriculture in India (1926–8) and the Select Committee on Indian Constitutional Reform (1930–2). He was appointed viceroy of India in 1936. His period in office witnessed the growth of mass support for the Indian National Congress, the withdrawal of Congress co‐operation for the Second World War, and the Quit India movement of 1942. His harsh response to the Quit India movement helped to spread guerrilla resistance to British rule. He resigned in 1943.
