I never went abroad metropolitans. But I have gone to each and every metropolitan cities in India. So in this review my subject will be about the social life in the metropolitan cities of India.
In our country the metropolitan cities are distinct from each other. Every city has different characteristics. They are not of similar kind. Delhi and Chennai is remarkably chaos less city. In the other hand Calcutta & Mumbai are both too much congested (though Mumbai is more glamorous than Calcutta). But each metropolitan city are the contestant of each other.
Language:-
In the southern metropolitan many travelers face language problems. Non Tamil fellows use English there but everyone would know English ? this is not possible.
In the other three cities, I did not face any language problem. In Mumbai almost everybody understand Hindi. And in Kolkata, it is hard to believe that you are in the heart of Bengali culture. Bengalis here trying earnestly to forget Bengali. So nonbengali friends should not face any language barrier here.
Poverty:-
Poverty is too much open in Calcutta. Now a days it is going to be vanished from the proper city. In Old Delhi poverty is everywhere. But poverty is nowhere in the New Delhi. It is visible some beach areas in Mumbai. Kolkata has the most number of slum areas. The reason behind it is the refugee problem.
Foods:-
In Delhi foods are quite a bit expensive. To get good quality foods you must have to spend some moneys here. But in Kolkata and Mumbai good food in cheap rate is not a very big problem. Chennai has another problem of food. Those who don?t like south Indian foods will must face problems in this part of India.
Cricket & Football:-
Cricket is like religion in India. And in every metropolitans cricket is no1 in popularity. But in Calcutta football is also so much popular and sometimes it is more popular than Cricket here.
Politics:-
Though Delhi is the capital of India but politics does not get the highest priority there like the other metropolitans. In Chennai politics is vividly dependent in individuals. Remarkably the politicians are honest in Calcutta. Miss ruling is other thing but the allegations of corruption is nowhere against the communist rulers.
Movies:-
Though Bollywood is world famous but Tamil movie is also very popular. Tollywood of Calcutta has also produced some great movies(Chokher Bali etc). Movies are very popular in every metropolitans.
Industries:-
Calcutta is now improving. But still very far from the three metropolitans.
As a traveler, you will find every metro very interesting. Flyover city like Mumbai, South Indian city Chennai, Capital of India New Delhi or cultural city like Calcutta, each, is very interesting in their own fields.
