On this day, 78 years ago, July 10, 1947 (May 22, 1947 in the lunar calendar), the United Kingdom appointed its first non-white dominion governor. The wife of the last British governor, Sir Monderbottom, bid farewell to India under British rule and her friend Padit Nehru, India's new Prime Minister. On July 10, 1947, the British appointed a non-white person for the first time as the Dominion Governor in the United Kingdom. Mohammed Ali Jinnah will be the ruler of India's Muslim majority. The news spread delightfully and quickly across New Delhi and every Muslim family. Jinnah, who will manage a region with 1 million Muslims, was surprised by the appointment. "I haven't even heard about the appointment on the radio yet, and I have to reflect on it carefully," he said.
