India Cities Map Quiz

Yeah, you're probably right.

This isn't right, as the first bragging comment on a Jetpunk quiz, without superfluous age, time and nationality claims. Sorry, you thus fail.

Read the next comment thread about Trivandrum then.

In that case, Bangalore should be changed to Bengaluru

In that case, if speaking to a native, they wouldn't understand our English language attempt at pronunciation no matter how it's Romanized. While speaking English, why not use English pronunciations? Anyone speaking English has had to go through untold mental inputs to get to where they are, so why stop at some Indian city and switch to another pronunciation system? If speaking the native language of a city or country, then surely it won't be a stretch to keep learning and pronounce it correctly under those circumstances. Isn't it idiotically futile to arrogantly insist that everyone in Trivandrum speaking Malayalam start writing the baffling "New York City" instead of something they easily understand, like

ന്യൂ യോർക്ക് നഗരം or

"n'yū yēārkk nagara"?

THOSE TWO ARE DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. Trivandrum is not the official name of the city, it is a nickname of Thiruvanathapuram. bengaluru was a name change of Bangalore and it is the official name. Take it from someone who used to live in Thiruvanathapuram.

Yes, yes, yes. What is the intention of insisting on Anglicized names for cities in English quizzes? Suggesting Trivandrum instead of Thiruvananthapuram is like suggesting Peking instead of Beijing, Constantinople instead of Istanbul and The Angels instead of Los Angeles. Personally, I didn't even recognize the name Trivandrum until I read the comments section after taking the quiz. Is it really too hard to memorize a few extra letters?

As an Indian, I can confirm that this is correct.

Also in the Hinduist Faith

No, Varanasi holds very little significance in the Buddhist faith. If you want the holiest city in the Buddhist faith, look up Gaya.

Nice! But I'm not 100% surprised; you're a geography geek.

agreed!

Yes! There should have been at least one city from the Northeast and Central India. They look empty.

I think it's likely because it's the only answer that makes sense for the Andaman Islands. I didn't know about Port Blair either before taking this quiz, but I knew it obviously wasn't a major Indian city based on the fact that I recognize it. With reasonable guesswork though, I figured such an obscure city could belong only in the Andaman Islands, based on the fact that this SVG quiz has a dot there.
