Purpose

To create a friendly, informative, and wholesome Indian Reddit community free from political vitriol, meta-drama, and hate.

Rules (Hover to Expand)

1. No Politics

  • tl;dr: Stay away from contemporary Indian politics; policy discussion is allowed and encouraged.
  • Please don't mention names or post images/videos of Indian political parties or political leaders. No political name-calling, political memes. No contemporary politics of other nations unless it relates to Indian foreign policy.
  • Anything not explicitly forbidden in this rule is allowed.
  • In a non-political context, users can mention the names of non-politicians-turned-politicians.
  • Links to articles that mention names of politicians or political parties in a minor way, are okay. Just that the title cannot break R1, and excerpts taken from the article in self-posts / comments cannot break R1. More leeway is possible if the politician mentioned is a Union or a State minister talking in official capacity.
  • In a non-political context which doesn't relate to domestic contemporary politics, R1 might be relaxed. (Example 1, 2)
  • Pre-independence leaders can be mentioned in non-political discussions. (Example)
  • Policy =/= Politics, and can be discussed. Policy includes economy, statutory and constitutional provisions, judicial judgments, welfare schemes and policies of state and union govt, etc. (Examples)
  • While politics "within" nations is barred, politics "among" nations relates to Indian foreign policy and is allowed. (Examples)

  • Mark nudity, pornography as NSFW. Excessive profanity that someone wouldn't want to see/watch/hear in public should also be marked NSFW.

  • Please provide an English translation, if most of your post is in a language besides English.

5. No Hate

  • Please don't spread hate against any ethnicity, religion, nationality, race, caste, region, gender or sexual orientation.

The exchange of thoughtful gifts between @BillGates and @PMOIndia underscores the essence of strong bilateral relations. It's more than just material exchange; it symbolizes mutual respect and understanding, essential pillars for fostering collaboration towards shared goals.

Air pollution due to sugar factory

I live near a sugar factory and during the production season there are soot particles all over the place. I wish to know how dangerous this is and how far should I live from such places to avoid health hazard.

I have been getting spam calls from them since 6th Feb. And they would not stop. Have blocked them on WhatsApp. They gave a fake link to click. Now, I have a request for UPI also. Such fraudster. Where can I complain about it? It's getting pretty annoying.

A guide for the first time beer drinker

I wanted to give a shot to beer and wanted to know any beginner beers if there are any XD

Have heard of brands like Kingfisher, Hoegarden, Bira, Corona etc but don't know which to give a shot. As its my first time drinking an alcoholic product I would prefer not too bitter taste. Also what other precautions should I take as first time consuming alcohol. TIA

Anyone who picked up a sport late in life

With the ongoing WC there is a sudden interest for cricket inside me (I know it is temporary) but still I feel like learning cricket (I have never played it in my life and I am 20 years old) I don't think that is possible lmao. That is one regret I have in my life, not playing a sport since childhood and achieving a decent mastery in it. Has anyone picked up a sport late in their life? How was the experience and do you enjoy/play it regularly?

When TF will Indian parents realise that we are adults and not children anymore and stop embarassing us in front of others?

Okay so my mother, brother and I were going to the railway station by cab and on a traffic stop a trans woman came asking for money. I skimmed through my purse and couldn't find enough change. Atlast I found a 100 Rs note and gave it to them(I usually give only 20-30 Rs to them but today was Diwali so thought why not....).

After she left, my mother went on asking why I gave so much money? She was criticizing me like I was a dumb child who didn't know anything! Even the driver seemed to enjoy it and said "bhai tumhare purse m Maine 20 Rs dekha, tumne faltu m itna Paisa de diya". My mother told him that "arre bhaiya abhi bachcha h, agli baar s dhyaan rakhega"(that chirkut driver was quite younger than 25 which is my age). The driver went on patronizing me after that. I told him "sadak p dhyan de" in a calm but menacing tone which shut his trap.

It was super embarassing and annoying to be treated like that by my mother. The last time my mother and I encountered a trans person on road, I only gave them 20 Rs. But of course my mother doesn't remember that! I confronted my mother about the incident after getting on the train. My mother justified that I a son would always remain like a child in front of his mother and also told that by calling me a child, she meant that I was a bit naive and inexperienced. I told her strictly to not treat me like that in front of others. But of course my annoying mother would do it again the next time. I would go into the details of the absolutely immature stuff my mother has done but let's just leave that for some other time.

I can understand parents treating their sons/daughters like children by saying things like "time p khaana khaana beta", pahuch k hame call kar Lena, etc. But to patronize me like a small child in front of a random driver who is younger than me, now that's completely annoying!!

That's it, that's the rant fellas!!

Hi guys your thoughts on this

Personally I had high expectations but it just tasted too chemically n yuck. I'd never try it again in my life. The filling and the coating crunch don't go well in their taste n create a bad chemistry in your mouth. There's another variant too that I'll be very skeptical to try.
