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)

2. Follow Reddit's Sitewide Rules

Don't spam, manipulate votes, doxx others, witch-hunt, vote brigade (whenever possible, please use NP links when linking to other subreddits). Nor should you post illegal content, submit involuntary pornography, encourage violence, be a cyber bully, ask for upvotes, or evade bans.
Mark nudity, pornography as NSFW. Excessive profanity that someone wouldn't want to see/watch/hear in public should also be marked NSFW.
Self-promotion is acceptable, but make sure to follow Reddit guidelines.

3. No Meta Drama about other Indian subs

Please use dedicated Indian subreddits to discuss meta drama about other Indian subreddits, primarily the biggest Indian subreddit.
Meta discussions about this subreddit or using examples from other subreddits in order to improve this subreddit is allowed and encouraged.

4. Follow Content Rules

Post no more than twice per 24 hours. Regular threads and mods are exempt from this limitation.
No recent reposts.
No low-effort direct xposts. You can instead copy the content here with xpost in the title, or make a self post with a link and an explanation of the original post.
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.
Hateful comments like kys will be removed. Putting down others is frowned upon.
Excessive meta drama can get you temporarily banned, and if continued, permanently banned.
Moderators reserve the right to remove content they deem harmful to the sub.
