Explanation

Simla (now Shimla) was indeed the summer capital of British India. The British administration would move from Calcutta (and later New Delhi) to Simla during the summer months to escape the heat in the plains. The other options (Nainital, Darjeeling, Ooty) were also hill stations but not the official summer capital.
