Lord Curzon

Lord Curzon was a British statesman and colonial administrator who served as Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905. He is known for his efforts to modernize India’s infrastructure, such as railway expansion and conservation of historical monuments like the Taj Mahal. Curzon aimed to strengthen British control while promoting development, but his policies also faced criticism for being administrative and sometimes gezien as favoring British interests. His tenure marked a significant period of reform within the colonial administration, reflecting both his vision for modernization and the complexities of British imperial rule in India.
