Great quiz. But a lot can be improved:

1- Afghanistan is not part of Indian Subcontinent, so remove all Afghan cities.

2- Islamabad does not mean "place of Islam" it means "City of Islam".

3- Add type-in Veranasi for Varanasi.

4- Make the hint for Delhi a little more specific, as National Capital Territory can be any capital territory.

5- Hint for Peshawar is not great. You can change it to "Capital of KPK" or "City near Khyber Pass" or something like that.

6- Add type-in "Bengaluru" for Bangalore.

7- Sri Lanka's capital is now changed to Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte.

Otherwise, a spectacular effort. Make some improvements and it deserves a nomination.
