Answer 2

Answer:

Calcutta was the capital of India before Delhi. In the year 1911, King George 5 laid the foundation of the darbar in Delhi. One of the reasons for the British to shift the capital from Calcutta to Delhi was that Delhi had been the seat of emperors for a very long time. The Mughals also had their capital as Delhi and so the British thought that the people of India would accept them as the rulers or the head of India only if they had their capital as Delhi.
