[edit] Technical Correction
The list is agglomerations, not cities. Each of these agglomerations has multiple cities.

- This has since been corrected. Urban ugglomerations have been moved to another article. AreJay 02:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Previous Unlabeled Comment
I couldn't relocate the exact .jpg I used, but the info's all over the net, so I've cited a reliable source at the bottom of the page that can be referred to. The numbers are the same. Thanks for the hard work 'text'ing it all, and I apologize for my sloppiness with citation! --LordSuryaofShropshire 13:38, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Bangalore third largest?!
This article mentions Kolkata city's population as being less than Bangalore's. It even cites a source - World Gazetter. I am not sure if it is reliable. In no government document, or other private study which might be privy to such statistics, is there any mention of Bangalore being more populous than Kolkata. Honestly, it just goes against 'common sense'. Perhaps someone could verfity the figures with some 'official' statistics. Priyatu 08:12, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- The municipal corporation of Bangalore is estimated for 2005 to be just slightly larger than the municipal corporation of Kolkata. The agglomerations (which the current list is based on) are a different matter. Polaron 16:11, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Source
Where are the figures from? The current figures are not consistent with the cited World Gazetteer link. Also, are there official definitions for these areas? We should provide a link to the area definitions as well. We should also add surface area figures which would make this list more useful. Polaron 15:52, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
