William Cavendish Bentick
W.C.Bentick Governor of Madras 1803-1807. Perhaps after Sir Thomas Munro he was the most popular Governor among Natives. He involved natives in administration in Madras and abolished Sati, improved Revenue administration and introduced English education while he was Governor General (1828-1835). An address made by 3000 native inhabitants of Madras on 28th September 1807 when he left for England after his term speaks volumes of it.
