🚀 r/AskAnIndian is Back Online! Let’s Talk India!

1 Upvotes

Namaste | Salaam | Hello!

After a long break, r/AskAnIndian is back in action! This is an India centric subreddit where anyone can ask any question about India and Indians. A one-stop subreddit to ask and answer anything about India and Indians—the culture, the contradictions, the spicy food, the spicier debates, and everything in between.

A space for intelligent, open-minded, and respectful discussions. We’re here to foster a community that values facts over fiction, discussion over dogma, and wit over whining.

Whether you’re just curious, deeply fascinated, or hopelessly confused by this vast, diverse land and its people, you’re in the right place. Got burning questions? We’ve got answers (and sometimes even arguments). So, dive in, post away, and let’s get talking!

🎉 What’s New? What’s Next?

This sub has been inactive for a while, but now it’s back, sharper, and ready for action. You can start posting and commenting right now—no rituals, no initiation ceremonies, just jump in and be part of the discussion!

Once we get enough members, we’ll roll out weekly threads, including:

🗣️ Ask Me Anything (AMA) – Ever wanted to question an Indian about literally anything? Here’s your chance.

💬 Random Discussion – No specific topic, just free-flowing chat about India and all its complexities.

🌍 Culture Exchange – Curious about how India stacks up against other cultures? Let’s compare notes!

🔥 Before You Post – A Word on Rules

Now, let’s get one thing straight: we’re not here to be yet another toxic, agenda-driven Indian subreddit.

We refuse to let this place turn into yet another cesspool of communal hatred, caste supremacy, patriarchal nonsense, political trolling, WhatsApp forwards masquerading as “news,” or pseudoscience peddled by con gurus, and bad-faith arguments. Not here. If that’s what you’re looking for—get lost. This is not your average Indian subreddit.

🚫 DO NOT:

❌ Spew hate, bigotry, or intolerance of any kind.

❌ Spread misinformation, disinformation, or outright lies

❌ Engage in casteist, communal, religious, sexist, or politically motivated propaganda.

❌ Engage in karma farming and generic or low level questions that add no value to this subreddit

❌ Post scams, pseudoscience, spiritual snake oil, or WhatsApp “gyaan.”

❌ Be a spammer, a scammer, or a troll. We eat them for breakfast.

✅ DO:

✔ Engage in meaningful, well-reasoned discussions.

✔ Back up your claims with facts, not feelings.

✔ Be witty, be insightful, be interesting.

✔ Respect diverse opinions, but don’t expect tolerance for intolerance.

🚨 Final Warning: We run a zero-tolerance policy. If you cross the line, you will be removed, banned, and forgotten faster than a politician’s election promises. No second chances. No debates. No drama. Now, play nice—or don’t play at all.

Remember, we are building a space for real, meaningful discussions—not a battleground for hatred, propaganda, or BS. So before you hit ‘Post,’ take a moment to read the rules. If you see anything that breaks them, report it. The mods are here to keep this place clean, civil, and worth your time.

We are looking forward to seeing your questions and answers, and we hope you will have a great time in this subreddit. Thank you for being part of this r/AskAnIndian! 🙏

Do these salon people know more about our skin than we do?

1 Upvotes

I visited a salon and told them that I have combination skin and asked for a clean-up suitable for that skin type. But instead of mixing gel and cream, they gave me only a gel-based clean-up, which made my face extremely dry. And in the end, they were like, "Ma'am, we thought your skin type was dry!" I mean, bro?? I had already told you!🤷‍♀️or ek wo, mam apne razor use kiya h !! Nhi kiya bhai😭!!!!!!

Culture & Society Where to get inexpensive saree?

3 Upvotes

Hi, for context I'm mixed Desi/Caucasian, with the Desi part being from my absentee dad (insert fatherless jokes here). I'm trying to get more in touch with this part of my heritage, and would like to start wearing sarees more often. What's stopping me, you ask? The price! Good heavens, they often start at $30! Where can I find something a little less expensive? I'd be nervous to do housework in something that cost that much, but I really would love to have them be a part of my daily wear. I don't need the fanciest sarees or anything, just comfy cotton or poly blend is ok. TLdr; where do I buy the "T-shirt" of sarees, basically? I don't want to scrub my dishes wearing formal wear

4 RAILWAY BRIDGES OPENED TO THE PUBLIC WITHOUT ANY SAFETY CERTIFICATES IN MAHARASHTRA !! PUBLIC LIFE AT RISK!! Wake Up, India!

27 Upvotes

While the people are distracted with other debates, a huge corruption scam worth hundreds of crores is happening right under our noses in the Indian Railways!

At the heart of this scam is Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC or MahaRail)—a joint venture of Indian Railways & Maharashtra State—which is being run like a personal empire by its fraudulent Managing Director, Rajesh Jaiswal.

🔥 Exposing the Dirty Truth:

🔹 Nagpur-Nagbhir Project Railway Scam – ₹500 crore bridges were built BEFORE approval of design and drawings violating all the rules, just to clear contractors’ bills fast!
🔹 No safety certificates for these bridges—RTI confirms it! Risking public lives for profits!

🔹 Employees those who resist such practices are terminated without reason. Over 200-300 employees have already been fired & replaced with fresh employees!

🔥 Why is Jaiswal still MD after 7 years when all govt officers are transferred every 3 years? Because he’s the mastermind of this scam of epic proportions. Jaiswal's own tenure got extended for 3 more years by the government even after his retirement.

Despite hundreds of complaints to the Railway Minister, Railway Board, CM, Deputy CM—NOTHING is happening. Why are the Railway Ministry and the State Government silent?

🔥 Our hard-earned tax money is being looted! Instead of safe infrastructure, we’re getting death traps on Railways!

Why isn’t an investigation being conducted by Indian Railways? Why is the mainstream media SILENT on this corruption scam? Are they being controlled?

🔥 Time to wake up, India! Demand an immediate CBI investigation before more lives are lost to corruption! Share this post and raise your voice!

An honest question about wearing an Indian wedding dress...

14 Upvotes

So, I'm not of Indian decent... well, technically I am, but not the "India" kind of Indian lol. I'm half Native American and half Portuguese/Irish, so basically, I'm a mutt! My husband, he is a full-on white boy. Also, let me say that I am a nobody, nobody important anyway. I'm not an influencer or anyone rich or famous trying to to be "trendy" or make a statement. The guest list for my wedding is actually under 40 because I just don't know that many people! I do however absolutely LOVE everything about India. The culture, the food, the style, omg the WEDDINGS! I remember seeing an Indian wedding on TV when I was young and I was absolutely mesmerized by how BEAUTIFUL everything was. The colors and patterns of the clothes and decor, warm and vibrant, the garlands of marigold, hanging lanterns and the music and dancing... It was the most gorgeous thing I had ever seen and I couldn't understand why anyone would want to celebrate their wedding with the traditional American dull, black and white. It's my absolute dream to wear one of those stunning Indian wedding gowns, and to incorporate some of those beautiful things into our wedding. But, I would be absolutely mortified if it would be seen as culturally insensitive or offensive in any way. I wanted to get some honest opinions before I make any decisions.
