Are our metros still standing?

Are our four glorious metros: Delhi , Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai as great as they were during the British era?
My answer is that these metros have only been successful in changing their names so far. Mumbai, my favorite city, when it comes to bashing, is so broken today.
The underworld threats, political problems, pollution, fully non-functional infrastructure, and the overgrowing population have harmed the city so badly that future development in the city is uncertain. Kolkata's political non-development agenda to keep the people poor and businesses away has been successful so far. Today, it is not even considered a metro. Chennai, is better than Kolkata, as it has attracted the IT and and a reasonably functional infrastructure. But I foresee social squabbles because of the increasing influx of immigrants. And it has a closed culture due to which it is not preferred by expats.
Delhi is the only survivor because it is the capital. It has managed a reasonable infrastructure, a pretty good influx in businesses, planned suburbs and a quality life. And Delhi is slowly usurping the title of financial capital from Mumbai, as financial businesses are moving their head offices to Delhi.
In the end, the fact remains that today tier 2 cities like Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad have a better quality of life compares to these metros. And tier 3 cities like Ahmedabad, Mysore, Coimbatore and Jaipur are also joining the bandwagon.
Hence, the so-called metros need to do a reality check and see where they are. For all that I know, It will take a century before Mumbai becomes Shanghai ;)
