Curzon reached India shortly after the suppression of the frontier risings of 1897–98. He paid special attention to the independent tribes of the north-west frontier, inaugurated the North West Frontier Province, and pursued a policy of forceful control mingled with conciliation. At this time the capital of British India was Calcutta, where the Viceroy's mansion remained in use until the capital moved to Delhi in 1912.
