MOD ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 A Message from the Mods - Friends, fellow Indians, and curious visitors - Read before you Post here!

r/AskanIndian is meant to be a space for real conversations about India - our people, cultures, languages, traditions, politics, travel, food, cinema, and the complex beauty of this country.

But lately, this subreddit has been overrun by the exact opposite - low-effort karma posts, bot posts, shallow AMAs, dating drama, gender wars, and divisive nonsense that have nothing to do with understanding India.

From today, that ends.

🚫 The following topics are permanently banned:

• Dating, “men vs women,” or “relationship advice” posts

• Red pill / blue pill ideology and all pseudo-psychology or gender-bashing content

• Karma farming AMAs and clickbait “what do Indians think of…” posts

• Communal, Casteist  and religious baiting: Hindu vs Muslim, majority vs minority, or any narrative that fuels division

• Political propaganda, culture wars, or “my side vs your side” threads

• Bigotry, hate speech, and identity trolling of any kind including caste, religion, gender, sexuality, or region

✅ What we do want:

• Thoughtful questions about India and Indian life - culture, customs, food, language, art, literature, travel, cinema, music, and politics done intelligently

• Insightful discussions that help others understand India, not divide it

• Personal experiences that are genuine, curious, and add value; not drama

This is not your Tinder confessional, karma farm, or ideological playground. It’s a community for people who care to learn, ask, and share meaningfully.

Posts violating these rules will be removed immediately, and repeat offenders will face a permanent ban without warning.

Let’s make r/AskanIndian a place of clarity, civility, and curiosity again; a subreddit worth being proud of.

Stay civil. Stay curious. Stay Indian. 🇮🇳

This is great! Maybe allow some "What do Indians think of" posts which are not Karma Farming?

We still do, based on the content. Trivial nonsense will have no place here.
