Go few more decades back-Lahore was the Capital. It was supposed to be
the finest and a very cultural city in the subcontinent but lost to Pakistan. The idea was
to create a great capital for Punjab-Le Corbusier designed Chandigarh.
But the language agitations starting from Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and states based on linguistic reasons instead of
administration/geography in the 1960s changed the political map of India. Indian
Punjab got partitioned into Punjab, Haryana, Himachal pradesh based on
districts where majorty spoke (Hindi or Punjabi). Chandigarh is better suited as Union Territory and combined capital.
