Well as it is the woebegone Wednesday, let's make it by learning something in a fun manner. The first document to get political authority in India by the Britts, the Regulating act of 1773
As the image shows, it came during the reign of East India company, so the logo is of EIC
1. It designated the Governor of Bengal as the ‘Governor-General of Bengal’
So this fat guy 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 got kicked away and 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 became the first GGB
2. Created an Executive Council of four
members to assist him.
So as Hastings was a young guy, he needed some experienced executive players for his executive council, like our Yuva netaji, hitting 4.
(So 4 members in the executive council)
3. It made the governors of Bombay and Madras presidencies subordinate to the governor-general of Bengal, unlike earlier, when the three presidencies were independent of one another.
Like you can see, KKR is playing well and CSK, MI are sad
4. It prohibited the servants of the Company from engaging in any private trade or accepting presents or bribes from the ‘natives’.
Just like pradhan sevak ji used to say in his rallies before 2014, NA KHAUNGA NA KHANE DUNGA
5. It provided for the establishment of a Supreme Court at Calcutta (1774) comprising one chief justice and three other judges.
Hence a SC, but not at Delhi
6. It strengthened the control of the British Government over the Company by requiring the Court of Directors (governing body of the Company) to report on its revenue, civil, and military affairs in India.
So British govt logo is bigger tha EIC showing their supremacy
A court of directors was made which you can see and remember by looking into this pic,
it was made to control
CIVIL- E. Shreedharan (Civil Engineer)
REVENUE- Arvind Kejriwal (Revenue Officer)
MILLITARY- Bipin Rawat (Military General)

Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, is not just a religion but a profound philosophy. As #UPSC aspirants, understanding its core principles can enrich your knowledge and perspective. Let's delve into the world of Buddhism! 🌸
🕊️ Born in Lumbini, Kapilavastu, Nepal, in 563 B.C., Gautama Buddha, from the Shakya Kshatriya clan, traced his lineage to the Ikshvaku dynasty. His profound journey culminated in Mahaparinirvana in 483 B.C. near Kushinara, marking his departure from world- Mahabhiraskramana. 🌟
At the heart of Buddhism lies the Four Noble Truths:
Suffering exists (Dukkha)
Suffering has a cause (Samudaya)
Suffering can cease (Nirodha)
There's a path to end suffering (Magga)

Gen- Rs 250
