"Delhi Capital Shift: क्यों अंग्रेजों ने कोलकाता छोड़कर दिल्ली चुना? | New Delhi History Explained"

Welcome friends, I’m Mangej Singh Chandela.
In this Episode 4 of our Delhi series, we uncover the real story behind one of the biggest turning points in Indian history — the shift of the capital from "Calcutta (Kolkata) to "Delhi".
Was it just geography, or a bigger "imperial political game"?
👉In this video, you’ll learn:
Why Calcutta became the first British capital after 1857
Rise of nationalism in Bengal and why Calcutta became risky
The 1911 Delhi Durbar and King George V’s historic announcement
How Lutyens and Herbert Baker designed a new city – New Delhi
Symbolism of Rashtrapati Bhavan, India Gate & Rajpath
Indian leaders like Gandhi & Tilak opposing the project
Why Delhi officially became the capital in 1931
Does New Delhi still carry the colonial legacy today?

This is not just about monuments, but about "power, politics, and empire-building".
