Independence
Answers
Answer:
The British Empire was once described as the 'Empire on which the sun never sets'. Maybe you're thinking of New Delhi, the extension to Delhi after 1937, when the Indian capital was moved from Calcutta (Kolkata) in 1911.
24 state capitals in India have 'planned' cities, or extensions of existing cities.
The urban centers built by British such as Madras, Delhi and Bombay were basically fortified cities.
British people lived within the fort area. These areas were known as the Civil Lines.
All other structures such as churches, shops or administrative headquarters were built in the fort area.
A nearby area was assigned for the army. Such an area was known as the “cantonment”.
The Black town was that part of the city where the locals lived.
