MUGHAL
The capital of the Muslim empire in India is Delhi. And your welcome.
They weren't, the British empire attacked India and the British won.
The first capital of the Mughal Empire in India was Agra. Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, established Agra as the capital in 1526 after his victory in the First Battle of Panipat. Later, the Mughal capital was moved to Delhi by his grandson, Emperor Akbar, in 1556. Delhi remained the primary capital of the Mughal Empire for much of its existence.
India was previously ruled by the British. British rule took place from 1858 to 1947. In 1947, India was given its independence.
The only Indian cities that ever WERE the capital of India are Bombay and Delhi, so all other Indian cities qualify as never having had that staus. Bombay (now known by it's Indian name of 'Mumbai') became capital of a unified India under the British Empire until Edwardian times, when the British transferred the capital to Delhi. This has remained India's capital ever since. So just consult a map of India to see it's other cities- none of these ever were India's capital. (N.B. remember that Pakistan didn't exist until Partition in 1947 / 48- Islamabad may now be Pakistan's capital, but up until British withdrawal it was just another Northern city, and Pakistan itself was all part of the British Indian Empire).
Till 1911 it was Kolkata but then Delhi became the Capital of India.
The British replaced the Mughal Empire in India.
