Explanation

India's capital was shifted from Calcutta (now Kolkata) to New Delhi in 1911 during the British colonial period. This was announced by King George V at the Delhi Durbar. The move was completed in 1931 when New Delhi was officially inaugurated. 1935 marks another significant date (Government of India Act), not the capital shift.
