No modern city in India may convincingly qualify for the title of melting pot, in my opinion. By “melting pot” I assume the usage of the term in the context of homogenization and adaptation of various “immigrant” or even “minority” cultures into a predominant way of life; usually associated with USA.

The reason I say so is that even after migrating to big Indian cities and metros (which may be worthy candidates for such a title), people from other cities (and villages too) tend to maintain their distinct cultural/ethnic way of life quite comfortably without feeling the need to modify. Surely, they do employ necessary adaptations. When in Rome. But, usually, not more than what is necessary. A melting pot is a crucible where you tend to lose your original way of life and take up a new one; habits which are so pervasive that soon your daily life becomes more and more characteristic of that place. And while you may still (comfortably) switch back to your old ways, given a choice between the two, you may not want to go back to the earlier you.

Though many Indian cities carry their own distinctive flavor, they continue to do so without inducing or forcing immigrants to taste it as a necessity. It is up to the immigrants as to how much they want to bite in. There is less chemical reaction which could lead to new end products, and more physical mixing where the elements can be separated at a later point of time in their original form. Shashi Tharoor puts it way better than me:

The Indian idea is the opposite of what Freudians call "the narcissism of minor differences"; in India we celebrate the commonality of major differences. If America is a melting-pot, then to me India is a thali, a selection of sumptuous dishes in different bowls. Each tastes different, and does not necessarily mix with the next, but they belong together on the same plate, and they complement each other in making the meal a satisfying repast.

But that is not to say there is no such observable Indian phenomenon which could be termed a melting pot. You just need to know where to look. It is easier to spot melting pots in specific aspects of the cities. One of the easiest is public transport. You can catch the pulse of the city there. During my stay in Delhi, for nearly four years I used public transport— mostly metro rail, but also buses, autos, shared tempos and the likes. I am from Lucknow. At the cost of sounding ostentatious, I say that there is a good chance that a regular Lucknow personmay be brimming with tehzeeb and tameez as compared to similarly placed people from other Indian cities in a randomly selected sample (that is what I meant by flavor earlier). But when you ride on the Delhi metro at rush hour, you suddenly lose that flavor.
