Indian cities were all in bottom quintile last year (2022) in EIU report, which the OP conveniently forgot.
Bhakt Indians are fond of deriding Bangladesh and Pakistan for reasons known only to them, probably just to feel better about their own effed up infra in their cities. And OP is supposedly "positive"! If this is positive tariqah then what about the "negative" ones in India? Lajawab!
Dhaka's low ranking is understandable because it is going through half a dozen megaprojects in the city itself (six lines of Metro, North South Skyway, Train logistics connector megaplex, elevated railway links, three/four six lane freeway connectors, even bypass connectors, one is a fourteen lane freeway - all causing massive traffic jams affecting livability standards). There is construction everywhere. Please look in the thread where I post the progress for these projects.

Plus Dhaka houses all sorts of factories which means dozens of slums which are in the process of being moved outside the city. I'd still say Dhaka fairs way better than Indian cities, most of which look like garbage, except some in the South.
I mean - we Bangladeshis do realize Dhaka is a dump, but bhakts won't even admit what dumps Indian cities are infra-wise.
We Bangladeshis have been to most of them, and we know what they are.
This is what the Indian media says about their own ranking last year.
"The EIU’s Global Livability Index 2022 analysed living conditions in 173 cities across the world, six of which — New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad — were in India.
All five Indian cities were ranked between 140 and 146, which means they fell in bottom quintile on the index.
Among Indian cities, New Delhi received the top rank of 140, with a livability score of 56.5. This was followed by Mumbai at 141 (score 56.2), Chennai at 142 (score 55.8), Ahmedabad at 143 ( score 55.7) and Bengaluru at 146 (score 54.4). The ideal score is 100.
This the first time that the index has included Chennai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad — earlier reports only featured Delhi and Mumbai among Indian cities."
The Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Livability Index 2022 analysed living conditions in 173 cities, 5 of which — New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru & Ahmedabad — were in India.

So in summation all I want to say is - Pujaris don't make me post horrid pictures of your slums, people defecating next to railway tracks etc.
Know your place.
