This is a difficult question to answer. In India, there are several large and modern cities that are developing very fast. To the outside world, I guess Bangalore is very famous for its success in IT outsourcing. On the other hand, Mumbai is a very rich city with the stock exchange, Bollywood movies and Mumbai port. Kolkata has a rich tradition. Chennai and Hyderabad had seen impressive economic success in the last 5 years. Why should I forget to mention Delhi, the Indian capital? However, until now, there was no comprehensive study on the cities in India. That is why, I am very happy that Indicus Analytics has published a great report "The City Skyline of India 2006". Well, the report is not free to download but you can download some pages from the website.
From the report, I could the name of 10 topmost Indian cities. They are (in alphabetic order):
Ahmadabad
Bangalore
Chennai
Coimbatore
Delhi
Hyderabad
Kolkata
Mumbai
Pune
Surat
Do you agree with the list? Do you want to include any other name in this list?
Dozens of city names can be added even by a child but it depends. Your question has to be specific. I have also gone through the report; its rankings have been given seperately for criteria relating to earning, investing and living. If the criteria are weather, pollution and people's behaviour, the list would be different.
