Oh by the way, I came across this list which shows that we are the world-leaders! Yes, we topped the chart! If you are still guessing, unfortunately it is the list of most densely populated cities (persons per sq km) of the world :-(

Population

1 Mumbai India 29,650
2 Kolkata India 23,900
3 Karachi Pakistan 18,900
5 Shenzhen China 17,150
6 Seoul SouthKorea 16,700
7 Taipei Taiwan 15,200
8 Chennai India 14,350
9 Bogota Colombia 13,500
10 Shanghai China 13,400
12 Beijing China 11,500
13 Delhi India 11,050
19 Bangalore India 10,100
24 Hyderabad India 9,100
25 SaoPaulo Brazil 9,000
26 StPetersburg Russia 8,550
27 MexicoCity Mexico 8,400
29 Singapore Singapore 8,350
38 Kyoto Japan 6,400
43 London UK 5,100
90 LosAngeles USA 4,320
107 SanJose USA 2,300
114 NewYork USA 2,050

Though this is no new information and we all are vaguely aware of this, I did not know the exact numbers. It was surprising to know that the most densely populated city of US of A accommodates just one person in the same area in which our nation accommodates more than 15 people! I am not against the drive of controlling population, but this fact anyway needs to be appreciated.

And after knowing these numbers, you might sympathize with the blatantly criticized issues like unmanageable traffic, housing issues, infrastructure, education, resources, funds etc etc.
