Explanation:
The transfer of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi was announced in 1911, and the new capital was formally inaugurated in 1912. However, the actual shifting took place in 1912. I'll use 1912 as the year it became capital officially, though New Delhi was inaugurated later in 1931. I'll refine: The announcement was in 1911, but Delhi became the capital in 1912. I'll keep 1912.
The 'States Reorganisation Commission' was appointed in 1953, but which earlier commission in 1948 had recommended reorganisation of states on linguistic lines?
Explanation:
The S. K. Dhar Commission was appointed in June 1948 to examine the feasibility of linguistic provinces but rejected language as the sole criterion. The JVP Committee (Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, Pattabhi Sitaramayya) was formed later. The question might be a bit post-1950 but okay. I'll keep it if relevant to 1950. I'll replace with a more 1948 one.
