1. Comparison between Shanghai and Mumbai
First of all, from an economic point of view, Mumbai is the capital of India, so it must be the economic and political center of India. Mumbai's annual GDP is about1427.48 billion yuan, while Shanghai's annual economic output is almost twice that of Mumbai, which is 3 trillion yuan. Economically speaking, Shanghai is far ahead of Mumbai.
In terms of urban construction, Mumbai, as one of the most developed cities in India, is definitely the best in terms of urban construction, but it is definitely worse than Shanghai in China. In fact, the infrastructure of Ma Meng is very backward for many cities in China, especially the level of urban construction, which is only the level of second-tier cities in China at most. I'm called an infrastructure madman, so as one of the most economically developed cities in China, its infrastructure must be perfect. Therefore, in terms of urban construction, Mumbai is definitely not as good as Shanghai.
2. Why do Indians still call it Little Mumbai in the East?
In fact, this is a reflection of national pride. No one will think that their country's cities are inferior to those of foreign countries, and I believe most Indians share this mentality. They deliberately improve Mumbai's image in their minds, while belittling Shanghai's position in their hearts. Another reason is that many Indians have never been to China. They know China's way, and many foreign networks belittle China. When they see these inaccurate information, it is easy to mistake Shanghai for being less prosperous than Mumbai, India.
Shanghai will be more prosperous than Mumbai. The reason why Indians call it Little Mumbai in the East is largely due to their national pride and unwillingness to admit that others are better than themselves.
