It was this day when 107 years back in 1911 the king of the UK and the then-emperor of India George V and his wife, Queen Mary inaugurated Delhi and declared it the capital of British India after being shifted from Kolkata. Even after the independence, Delhi is still the national capital. Since then many things have changed in the capital. For example, big buildings have taken place of clean rivers.
