There are many unexplained stories regarding the British rule in
India. One of those is why transfer of capital from Calcutta to New
Delhi in 1911?
A. Was the transfer on logistic reasons?
B. Was it for better colonial grip?
C. Could it be related to the possibility of wider cooperation from
the local population.
D. Was it because the intelligence reports of the colonial rulers
satisfied them that the cooperation from the local Bengalee Hindus
was waning?
E. If the colonial Britishers caused the transfer of capital from
Calcutta to New Delhi in 1911 considering the inefficiency of the
local officials.
F. Was it due to growing lawlessness in Bengal?
The transfer of capital in those days was not very easy. It must had
been planned, projected and implemented for quite sometime. It has
been a very important and significant part of the history of South
Asia. Yet the scholars and historians, both Western and Indian,
hardly touched the subject with documentations.
It will be highly appreciated if the learned readers of the Mukto-
Mona forum kindly write about the transfer of capital from Calcutta
to New Delhi in 1911 -- particularly analysing the colonial British
point of view.
