The British had shifted their headquarters and capital to Calcutta after 1772 and shifted it from Murshidabad.
In the leadership of Warren Hastings Calcutta became the city of palaces and also the coexisting whites and natives in different portions.
For geographical reasons, British decided to shift the capital to Delhi which is located in the central area.
