Community Guidelines

Photographs of places, festivals, food and everyday life; local stories and oral histories; corrections to our facts; new place, event and business listings; verified family history contributions; volunteer and cause listings; obituary and memorial submissions with the family's consent.

Sectarian, casteist, communal or personal attacks; content that endangers a community's safety; unverified allegations against named individuals; medical, legal or financial advice; election predictions or endorsements; misleading photographs (staged, misattributed or AI-fabricated); marketing content disguised as community submissions; content that violates Indian law or the platform's Terms.

Every submission enters a moderation queue. Editors check the submission against the guidelines above, verify claims that require verification, and either approve, reject with a reason, or send it back for revision. High-risk categories (missing-persons, medical, minors) require additional editor review. We publish approvals with the contributor's chosen name; nothing appears with a random handle.

We show the contributor's chosen public name. We never expose the email address you submit with. You can update or withdraw your contributions any time via My India → My Contributions.

The "Report" link on every submission goes to the moderation queue. Serious abuse can be reported directly to safety@indias.com. We keep the reporter's identity confidential.

We handle missing-person and safety-critical posts with extra care. Contact information for a missing person's family is never published publicly; authorities are always suggested as the primary reporting channel; we can withdraw a post at the family's request at any time.
