Manchester of India[edit]

The Manchester of India is Ahmedabad, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester#Twin_cities_and_consulates

The reference used in this current article from BBC has no source to collaborate with the story.

However, the wikipedia source that I have cited have the following references.

I too agree with this. I've always known Ahmedabad as The Manchester of India and google supports me as well. There are several references to it, for instance,

Useful, but could be more so![edit]

This is a useful article, but as a non-Indian, it could inform me better.

Why not use Wikipedia's database capabilities? Enter the state as a field; add the city or metro-area's population (or fields for both, if there are enough differences) as a field. Also, change "Nicknames" to "Nicknames, Other Names, or Events" and also list the ancient and British names of the cities, and add historical events for the cities in the same field.

The database setup allows the reader to click on the column they are interested in, and have the table sorted on that field. The default order could be set to be according to the current order. There should be a way to control the display so that the city names don't get repeated line after line when the sort order is by city.71.230.16.111 (talk) 05:27, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
