&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; His (or Her) Majesty&amp;#039;s Principal Secretary of State for India&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, known for short as the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;India Secretary&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Indian Secretary&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, was the [[Cabinet of the United Kingdom|British Cabinet]] minister and the [[Head of Government|political head]] of the [[India Office]] responsible for the governance of the [[Indian Empire|India]], [[Aden Province|Aden]], and [[British rule in Burma|Burma]]. The post was created in 1858 when the [[East India Company]]&amp;#039;s rule in [[Bengal]] ended and [[British India|India]], except for the [[Princely States]], was brought under the direct administration of the government in [[Whitehall]] in [[London]], beginning the official colonial period under the [[British Empire]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1937, the [[India Office]] was reorganised which separated Burma and [[Colony of Aden|Aden]] under a new [[Burma Office]], but the same Secretary of State headed both departments and a new title was established as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;His Majesty&amp;#039;s Principal Secretary of State for India and Burma&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. The India Office and its [[Secretary of State]] were abolished in August 1947, when the [[United Kingdom]] granted independence in the [[Indian Independence Act 1947|Indian Independence Act]], which created two new independent [[dominion]]s, [[Dominion of India|India]] and [[Dominion of Pakistan|Pakistan]]. [[Burma]] soon achieved independence separately in early 1948.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Before the establishment of the [[British Empire]] on 2 August 1858, [[Edward Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby|Lord Stanley]] had served as [[President of the Board of Control]].&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
