Talk:Charles Canning, 1st Earl Canning

KSI

edit

I'm removing the postnominal KSI and category for Knights Companion of the Order of the Star of India. Though he was the first Grand Master of the Order I don't think that necessarily made him one of the Knights Companion. Cf. Talk:James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin#KCSI.

The very next edit (by User:Aumnamahashiva) added GCSI in there instead. This is also wrong, and for the same reason. Removed. Opera hat (talk) 17:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)Reply


Now this was a true hero!

NPOV?

edit

The following sentence does not seem NPOV --

"By the union of great moral qualities with high, though not the highest, intellectual faculties, he carried the Indian empire safely through the stress of the storm, and, what was perhaps a harder task still, he dealt wisely with the enormous difficulties arising at the close of such a war, established a more liberal policy and a sounder financial system, and left the people more contented than they were before."

References and/or opinions for the above please?
