Cornwallis' tenure in India as Governor General saw the development of the Indian civil service and governmental structure. Much of the "Western" nature of India government is thanks to the reforms proposed by Cornwallis. The "Cornwallis Reforms", while ethnically inappropriate by modern standards (high civil positions were to be held by Europeans), they reduced much of the corruption that had been plaguing the sub-continent. The article on Cornwallis has next to nothing on his tenure in India, and this could do with being fixed..
A very interesting point: for the India of today to exist, reforms had to occur that would bring it up to par - and so the Cornwallis reforms would be an interesting idea to look at. A nation that does not know its own history is suffering from amnesia. Knowledge of the past is vital to understanding how the present came to be - why and how India came to be the way it is today.
