History of India's Capital:

Calcutta was the capital of India until 1911 during the British Raj. However, Delhi had served as the political and financial centre of several empires of ancient and medieval India, most notably of the Mughal Empire.

When was the shift done?

It was during the early 1900s, a proposal was made to the British administration to shift the capital of the Indian Empire from Calcutta to Delhi.

Why was the shift necessary?

Unlike Calcutta, which was located on the eastern coast of India, Delhi was located in northern India and the Government of British India felt that it would be easier to administer India from Delhi rather than from Calcutta.

Who was responsible for the shift?

George V, the then Emperor of India, made the announcement the capital of the Raj was to be shifted from Calcutta to Delhi.
