I would simply like to point out one small correction. As someone for Chandigarh, Mr Gupta may be forgiven for thinking Chandigarh is the only planned city to have been built in modern in India, that is not the case. The capital city of Odisha was also built as a planned city pretty much around the same period as Chandigarh itself. While Bhubaneswar may not have the sense of wonder or style that Corbusier gave Chandigarh, it none the less was a planned city.
Similarly, if one is to grant the same status to what was being planned in Amaravti, there have been similar more successful attempts in Naya Raipur and Gandhi Naagr. While Amaravati was probably more grander in thought and vision, the realities of Naya Raipur and Gandhi Nagar as planned “capital areas” near an existing major city deserve to be highlighted more.
Of course, I am not necessarily disagreeing with your basic point that our cities “suck”, but only that there have been a few more attempts to suck less than you have mentioned
