Err.. If Gujrat is so important then Why Delhi is the capital?

Safin

Actually because its center of India theoretically is Delhi. You need to control the whole country, not the state alone

Gujrat has always been prosperous. But that doesn't mean you move the capital to a far flung off extremity. Also historically, India has always been ruled from Delhi (Tughlak tried Agra in between but that flopped

)
