One more thing,

| Akshaya Iyengar from Solapur, India. 
| Growing up in this small textile manufacturing town, 

Is Solapur mentioned here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solapur ?
Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solapur_district ?

Anyway, City of Solapur itself has more than 1 million population in total, including both city and rural area.

(I also supposed that this "Solapur" is another small city somewhere in India which shares the same name,
but after some Googling surveys, that idea was rejected.)
I will not argue whether Solapur is big or small.
She said so, that is that.

Instead, I wonder if we should keep in mind that this "small town" is a town somewhere in Solapur, not City of Solapur itself.
