Under which Governor General, British rule was first established in Odisha?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The correct answer is Option B: Lord Wellesley.

Let's understand why:
British rule was first established in Odisha in the year 1803. This happened during an important event called the Second Anglo-Maratha War. At that time, Lord Wellesley was the Governor-General of British India.
Under his leadership, the British forces defeated the Marathas, who were controlling Odisha, and took over the region. So, Lord Wellesley was the Governor-General when the British first took control of Odisha.

Now, let's see why the other options are not correct:
Option A: Lord Dufferin was a Governor-General much later, from 1884 to 1888. He was known for other historical events, not the start of British rule in Odisha.
Option C: Lord Linlithgow was a Viceroy (a similar top position) much, much later, from 1936 to 1943, during the time of World War II. He also has no connection to the initial British takeover of Odisha.
Option D: Robert Clive was an important British officer much earlier in Indian history, especially famous for his role in Bengal around the mid-1700s. He was not the Governor-General when Odisha came under British rule.
