rudyard kipling

The correct answer is "Queen Victoria".

Robert Clive was a British Army officer who is known for having established the political and economical supremacy of Great Britain in India while operating under the British East India Company. This institution would remain as political operator of India until 1857, when the Governement of India Act made India an official colony that was under the rule of the British Crown, in other words, Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria was named the ruler of India in 1857.

Further Explanations:

1857 in India was marked by a massive revolt contrary to the “East India Company”. The revolt started on 10th May 1857 in the company’s troop of Meerut and then erupted in the other parts of India like in central India and upper Gangetic plains. Mangal Pandey was the first victim of the revolt. The rebellions were able to pose a considerable threat to British power. The reasons behind the revolt can be taken as the introduction of British Style social reform, inequality in the society and harsh and heavy taxes imposed.

The significant impact of the war was that it ended the rule of East India Company. According to the “Government of India act’ 1858, the authority was transferred from the company to the British crown with the establishment of a new British Government headed by the Throne. The title of the Governor-General of India was renamed as Viceroy of India and Queen Victoria was titled as the ruler of India.
