www:mongobay.com/cities_pop_01 web reference is not legitimate. It is only some persons WRONG unreserched answer on Yahoo Answers. Try a real internet search... and Mumbai = Bombay (old name)

Answer 2

The largest city is Mumbai (Bombay), India with 12.5 million
Shanghai, China, Sao Paolo, Brazil, Seoul, North Korea, and Moscow, Russia are next. The 1991 census found that 12.5 million people lived in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Of these, 9.9 million lived in Greater Mumbai. Estimates of the present population are in the range of 14 to 15 million.
Bombay's population has grown most rapidly in the years after India's independence. In the decade between the censuses of 1981 and 1991, there have been some signs of a levelling off in the growth.
