Kolkata
8.3
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Capital metro with 5+ million people, educated English-speaking middle class, intellectual culture, and actual dating infrastructure. Leftist tradition means less rigid conservatism than much of India. The only place in Bengal with real scale and cosmopolitan depth.
Mid score (6-8)
Aging infrastructure, brutal heat and monsoons, chaotic traffic, and bureaucratic lethargy. English works among educated class but service workers don't speak it.
Lower score (below 6)
Pollution is serious, water and power issues are real, and the pace of life is slower than you'd expect from a metro. You're fighting the climate constantly.
