Pakistan has 3 of the best 19 Muslim cities!

The problem is that your urban population is not really 'urban'. 638 million Indians practice open defecation, whereas 48 million Pakistanis do that. Indians make up 58% of the world population which still practices open defection:

Indian poverty levels higher than Pakistan's, says UN report - Telegraph

Anyways, let us stick to the topic, which is about Pakistani cities, not Pakistan or India's poverty levels.

Yeah I agree(sticking to topic), and if you would kindly post rankings which are recent and not 12 years old from a Magazine(AsiaWeek) that would be GREATTTT (sigh). I would prefer proper rankings, not something out of a magazine.

World Bank says Pakistan has more poverty then India, put your cursor or mouse over the name of countries on the left of the map.

Welcome to WorldBank Group

But here we are talking about cities and half of Pakistan's urban population live in slums and we are not taking about Poverty and rural areas here. So, will you stick to the topic.

Wrong. From the 2011 World Bank report, Page # 10 (I've given the link below):

Anyways, the Global City Rankings are just the opinions of the Foreign Policy magazine. Just like any other ranking system.

Both you and Bilal need to stop going off topic with this poverty BS. There are other threads to discuss this, go there.

That is multi dimensional poverty index which takes account of malnutration.

No actually that is not how ranking systems work. They are not "opinions", they are numerical facts. All cities are given a score on a variety of different criteria and the best OVERALL city is determined in this way. But I see how it works for you, you tried a bunch of sources to try and prove Pakistani cities are better than Indian ones (including posting a 12 year old article from AsiaWeek), and when you cant find anything you say that the rankings are fake.

I would say that maybe you need to use a little more logic in your thought process.

Mr. Riaz Haq also gave me that link but ran away later on. Poverty in India was higher than Pakistan back in 2005 but now not in 2011. The link you have provided India data based on 2005 and Pakistan poverty of same period.

Poverty in Pakistan has increased to 37.5% right now.

Poverty in Pakistan always swings up and down, like this one poverty increased in Pakistan by 4% between 1999-2002 and same is happening since 2006- 2011.

Well, just like I presented the rankings of Asiaweek, you presented the rankings of the Foreign Policy magazine. Whatever floats your boat. The parameters that are selected are also based on opinion, as well as the numerical values assigned to each parameter. So yes, it is opinion.

Are bhai, you are giving a Pakistani newspaper link saying the poverty levels of Pakistan are at 37.5%. Here is another ranking showing that 77% (836 million Indians) of Indians earn less than 20 rupees a day, whereas the poverty rate is $1 a day:
