My weak of knowledge in the eastern cities is a real handicap. Karachi is the world most populated city ?

Delhi, India, number 5 on your source list, is not the capital of India (New Delhi) and thus should be included in this quiz.

Seems to me the numbers for Sydney and Melbourne are for the metro areas, but I could be wrong.

Delhi is not the capital of India. Why is it a bonus? It should be a real answer.

IN the most populous cities in Asia quiz, Mumbai, Delhi, and Shanghai beat Karachi. Unless that includes their metro areas?

@dman1: Clearly you haven't been on Sporcle very long. Ankara is the capital of Turkey.
