Correct Answer: Lord Hastings


Solution : The correct option is Lord Hastings .

The "paramountcy" doctrine was first used by Lord Hastings, the Governor-General of India, from 1813 to 1823. The idea of paramountcy, which maintained that the British East India Company's power over the Indian nations was paramount, was put into effect in large part thanks to Lord Hastings. During the British colonial administration in India, the company implemented this programme to increase and solidify its grip over several Indian provinces.
