MY REACTION AFTER SEEING MY HOME TOWN HYDERABAD IN THIS LIST

You have to remember that the Lonely planet publications are meant for backpackers mostly from developed Western countries who find utterly chaotic cities of India exciting and amusing. People who are drawn to travel generally like to go to places that are virtually opposite to where they live.

And while Hyderabad may have the honor of making it to the top of the Lonely Planet list in it's current state I don't think it's beneficial to the residents of the city itself. Indian cities have to be reorganized and fitted with a state of the art infrastructure while preserving the ancient architecture (just like European cities).
