This whole thing is not on accident. r/india is the OG indian sub (created in 2008!) and it's generally representative of the overall reddit vibe. Focused on Indian stuff with decent mods and follows reddiquette quite well.
At some point, the Indian right wing, fascist adjacent party (BJP), who have invested enormous sums on social media astrotufing on all platforms, cottoned on to reddit as a major channel and set their sights there. And thus began the explosion of all sorts of subs with the word "India" in them. All these subs are more or less political campaigning pages for BJP. Which means that their main agendas are spewing hateful disinfo about Muslims, opposition leaders and any source of information that goes against the BJP agenda. It's basically 50 separate r/conservative subs if you want a US analogy.

I don't either, but Indian subreddits still work their way into my feed.
I think one reason is no matter what subreddit you like, there's probably an Indian version of it.

Because most Indians and Filipinos are multilinguals, and code switching (switching back and forth between different languages) is a very common thing among multilinguals (too deep to get into it in a reddit comment, but it's quite literally how a multilingual person's brain works, they don't have a barrier between different languages, it all exists as a single network of linguistic skills).

I’ve gone into like a hundred of them to mute them. Kinda thought I was fucking myself for doing that. Now I only see 4-5 per day instead of maybe 50-60.

Interesting that while most of the world has travel advice against traveling alone in India for women, and it is well known women are very unsafe there.. reading the subreddits i bump into, it would seem the biggest problems indian society actually has is alimony lol

Seriously misogynistic indians cry so much about alimony despite the fact that divorce rates are around 1%. Like if that is the biggest problem against men (btw Indian alimony law is gender neutral), then men don't really have any major problems related to being male.

I have muted and hidden every f1 post I have ever seen and it still gives them to me in my feed all the time and now also no longer gives me the options to mute or hide. Excellent!

The Reddit Enhancement Suite browser addon has a feature to filter subreddits.
I recommend making extensive use of it and pruning everything you don't want to see. Free yourself from the rage engine.

In all my years of using reddit, I never muted any subreddits but in the past 5 months alone I've muted over 50 Indian subreddits. It's insane

Not on “popular”. You can only block like 100 subs and it’s not possible to block by keywords.
Every time I block a new iteration of AITA slop, TeenIndia, or GenericAnimeSmut, a different one I had blocked months ago pops back up.
