List of High Commissioners of the United Kingdom to India
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
(Redirected from List of High Commissioners from the United Kingdom to India)
Countries belonging to the Commonwealth of Nations exchange High Commissioners rather than Ambassadors. Though there are a few technical differences (for instance, whereas Ambassadors present their diplomatic credentials to the host country's head of state, High Commissioners are accredited to the head of government), they are in practice one and the same office. The following persons have served as British High Commissioner to the Republic of India since India gained independence from the UK in 1947.
