"Mumbai is the worst city in the world" isn't a true statement. But its one of the worst cities is possible.

Amongst the "worst" i remember reading a survey 5 years ago or something and NewYork was supposed to be one of the worst. They had rated cities on the basis of a) Pollution b) Crime rate c) People living in poverty etc .

I recall reading as "Delhi" being one of the worst cities in the respect that crime rate is very high and due to air pollution.

As for the website you gave, its a travel blog i can see , and one thing is for many Europeans and Americans India comes as a Culture shock and can be very scary for many.I have had many White friends of mine who went to India and will unlikely go back and i have many who absolutely loved India.

Frankly India needs to be enjoyed with an open mind and heart to understand its eccentricities and its uniqueness ! 😊

I agree with you Aparna.

Mumbai as worst city I think is overstatement. But it surely is not safe city. Like many big city it has its drawbacks and crime rate is more comparitively.

Bombay is best city in India... as far as the world is concerned there are probably worse cities so .... 😊

I find Mumbai safer than many small cities in India where everything comes to a halt after 7. I also think it is one of the most cordial place in India.

I call Mumbai the New York of the East.

Any person who is willing to work will find livelihood in Mumbai. Not so in any other city in India.

The incessant vibrancy, the "show has to go on" spirit of the people, the constant activity, Bollywood ..... yeh hai Mumbai meri jaan.

And anyone who thinks otherwise, be it of Mumbai or of the entire country .... well sour grapes baby, sour grapes.

BINGO!! 👏👏👏

Other cities maybe more clean and have better infrastructure but I will not say Mumbai is the worst city. There may be better but there are certainly worse cities around. And the warm and helpful nature of the public in most Indian cities (I refuse to include Delhi & Chennai in that category) doesn't exist everywhere. Mumbai with its large population has something for everyone who comes here.

well i prefer pune and blore to mumbai and delhi i dont like mumbai bcoz its too fast for me too crowded.

but in mumbai there is place for every one u have things for a beggar to a millionaire.

in india u have every thing snow mountains, desert, beaches,lagoons, hill stations , croweded places, evry every thing.
but ya not much cleanliness not compared to west.

amen to that! I will make a similar statement -
"If they don;t like MUMBAI, 🤢 may God bless them" (sandya, we r cewl right? i am a die hard mumbai fan, nothing personal against ur quotation here, just LOVE 👏👏 the passion in it)

I have seen NY post 9/11 and the life stand still it came to on september 12th.

I was in Mumbai on march 12, 1993 and dear friend, I rode the BUS to college the NEXT day. BEST buses ( public transport) ran all day long and carried the spirit of mumbai called Mumbaikars.. amidst the havok.

Show me one other city with such a huge population that runs the next day after 12 blasts hit in on one day 😃

Well.. I've never been to India, & I'm sure it's not that bad. When I read the comments the number one complaint was the dirty water, air, etc. Some people said they even got sick there. I also watched on TV about the lady who went to India for yoga & she ate something & got very sick for a long time.. I don't want to offend anyone (SERIOUSLY) but is the water there kinda dirty? Like I go to Nepal every 2 years, & the water is dirty there so my relatives have to boil the water.

india is not flithy. people who say it they are flithy.
i love india and specially mumbai.i would slap the person
who said that. if u don,t like indian then don,t come here
but don,t say it dirty. other countries are dirty and i bet they are more dirtier than india.

Indian cities supply potable water but they don't supply water of such standards as many other cities do. The supply plant has filters and everything but still it is better to filter the water at home before drinking, boiling is not necessary though.
