Explanation

Calcutta (now Kolkata) was the capital of British India from 1772 until 1911 when the capital was shifted to Delhi. Bombay and Madras were presidencies but not the national capital. Bhopal was never the capital of British India - it became a princely state capital and later a Indian state capital.
