Is this itinerary too aggressive?
 
My friend made the following itinerary for India for me. I'm super open to quick travel (and I almost always travel with briefer visits to cities than just about everyone else recommends), but given the distances and flights and such, this seems like I may be spending more time traveling than visiting.

So is this itinerary at all feasible? Or is too aggressive? What particular parts will be toughest to do?

(Note: Have particular reasons for Hyderabad and Gulbarga, though Gulbarga could be replaced with another rural / off-the-beaten path location.)

Day 1- Delhi
Day 2- Agra
Day 3- Jaipur
Day 4- Hyderabad
Day 5- Hyderabad
Day 6- Gulbarga
Day 7- Mumbai
Day 8- Mumbai

Thanks.

Way too aggressive. You will spend all your time traveling between these places and not see anything in any depth. I spent 2 full days in Agra it took a day to ge between Agra and Jaipur including a visit to fateipur sikri (sp?) and 3 full days in Jaipur. There is so much to see just between Delhi, Agea and Jaipur.

Definitely too aggressive. I think you are dramatically underestimating the time it takes just to get between city and airport in each place. This can take, literally, hours, depending on traffic/time of day. If you have 8 days I would limit it to 3 cities max. There is a lot to do in Delhi alone, for instance, well more than the half-day your itinerary appears to allow.
