Why did so many conquerors and rulers of india choose to base thier capital at delhi?What features of this city made it thier prefferred location ?think and answer.
Answers
The features of this city made it their prefferred location were:
In the ancient world, especially in India, major cities were built near key rivers. Many of these cities went on to become major capitals. Delhi is in the northernmost navigable part of Yamuna and has an easy access to two of India's major cultural centers - one built around the Sindhu and the other built around the Ganga. This strategic location between Indus and Ganges is a key strength for Delhi.
For a lot of invading powers, Delhi was convenient as it was close enough to the Gangetic plains without going too far into India. They could still keep their ties to central Asia from Delhi.
The decision by Shah Jahan to build the city of Shahjahanabad - now called Old Delhi and move the capital of Mughal empire from Agra was a key aspect. That was a major decision that allowed Mughals to move closer to the centre of North India and Delhi stayed as the Mughal capital for the next couple of centuries.
