https://internetfreedom.in https://internetfreedom.in is doing important work in challenging the Indian government's surveillance and censorship apparatus. If you're passionate about this, consider donating to them and/or participating in the conversation. They're active, from time to time, on r/India as well. (not affiliated with them in anyway or form, but I do work on anti-censorship tech).

If you visit r/india do visit r/indiadiscussion as well to see how r/india bans anyone that does not go against their views. It is the most censored subreddit i have ever seen and likely a battleground of information warfare. I would just suggest third party persons reading both this and above post to visit and analyze it for themselves.

  Yeah, as far as country subs go that is one of the most toxic ones. I tried to use it for some travel advice but what I noticed was just sheer negativity and an echo chamber where any contrarian opinion is suppressed. I wonder if the irony of doing this and then complaining about suppression of dissent by the current establishment is lost on them.

  r/Chodi wala ho kya? I've always heard they ban people. Never seen any proof. They ban people that abuse directly at a user I think. Or do personal promotion/spam.

    Which is why i linked to r/indiadiscussion so that you can get proof.

I'm all for challenging government surveillance and censorship. But the irony here is laughable given r/India's propensity to hand out bans like chocolates for anyone not subscribing to the groupthink.
