You have to rename the Indian cities. Bombay = Mumbai Calcutta = Kolkata Dacca = Dhaka Madras = Chennai

This is true of many of the Chinese cities as well, Canton/Guanghzou for example; the "English names" listed are no longer in wide usage.

Rangoon, as well, is now Yangon. Ho Chi Minh City should be included in your "h" list.

Tientsin should be Tianjin, Poona should be Pune, Nanking should be Nanjing, Hangchou should be Hangzhou, plus all other mistakes mentioned above

Yes, I realize that many cities have changed names, but those names come from my source, linked above.

You should not have used that source then...

@BoomRShine: What nonsense is this? I don't care what CityPopulation.de says (as if a German website is a good source for English names). English speakers universally use Guangzhou, Mumbai, Chennai, Beijing, Dhaka, etc. I wish I could give this quiz a negative 5.

@BoomRShine, unless you intend people to go to your source and copy out the answers, everyone will use the currently accepted names and be unhappy about being "wrong" for having done so, and your quiz won't be rated as highly as it would if you went the extra mile and updated the names. It's a good idea for a quiz otherwise.

Negative globes for making this quiz as if it were from the 1970s.
