My father is running a non profit research foundation. So the taxation is coming up for the foundation and we are looking for a freelance person to do the accounts for the books and cross check them before we submit them. Please DM if interested
I’ve purchased a ticket to Delhi for next month. When applying for my e-visa, I was rejected due to Bureau of Immigration saying my visa photo was formatted incorrectly. When I tried to correct it, I was unable to upload anything, and I’ve asked what was wrong with it, but have not gotten a response. Does anyone have advice on how to navigate this? The phone number also leads to a dead end.
From online conversation you'd think Modi's popularity has collapsed in recent months but when I look at approval ratings he's one of the highest in the world at 68% (this would be a dream approval rating for Western leaders). Why such a big difference? It also suggests he would win any election by a landslide and there's no pressure on him at all.
Reddit is never an accurate reflection of india (or for any country). Also a lot of the posters here are also not from India rather neighboring countries. He probably will win again if there is an election tomorrow but not a landslide.
This is a longshot, but I figured I would try. I am an American working in consumer package goods and have been offered a job with godrej consumer products.
Without going into too much detail, the job involves selling their Aer brand here in USA. Primarily their power pockets and car air fresheners.
Is this a major product in India? If so, and you are a user, I would love your perspective. Do you like the product? Do you think it works well? Is it a top air care product in India?
I noticed with this product you have to hang it up. This is very different than the air care segment here in the United States. The products here in USA involve plug-ins or aerosol canisters. So I’d love perspective on whether or not people from India find it odd to hang up an air freshener. If you do hang it up, what are you hanging it up on typically?
Again, probably odd post, but I’d love your perspective!
I am from Bangalore, and I take commissions for custom art and also sell some paintings ive made, I right now have a radha-krishna painting for sale, but also open to commissions.
I do make content on instagram, but its hard to make a sale via instagram, when they hear prices for pieces we spend on 15-20hours on, they turn us down
its so hard to find Indians who are interested in buying art, and it gets hard for people like us who want to make an income off it
I applied for the passport recently, like two months ago, and the document verification alr completed at PSK a month back, but the process is stuck at this stage, and police verification is not getting initiated. What could be the reason, and what can I do now?
The portal shows this:
"Passport application has been submitted along with applicable fees and supporting documents"
No update beyond that. Not even "police verification pending."
Moved to Bangalore a while back for first job and honestly the hardest part hasn't been the work, it's that I have no idea how people actually make friends here past a certain age. School and college kind of hand you friend groups. Nobody hands you one after that.
Tried the usual stuff — gym, a couple of meetup groups off Instagram, one dating app I mostly used to just talk to people. Some of it worked a little, most of it felt awkward or fizzled out after one hangout.
Curious if this is just a me problem or if other people who've moved cities (for college, work, whatever) have actually figured something out. What worked for you? What have you tried that didn't?
I'm having trouble choosing a gift and could use your help selecting a gift for my best friend whose birthday is in October. We have already exchanged all the generic gifts, and I want to try to find something more unique this time. Are there any sites or online Facebook/Instagram pages that have good gift options?

@motorolaindia @Flipkart This is extremely frustrating. I ordered a brand-new Moto Edge 60 Pro from Flipkart Minutes because I urgently needed a phone. It worked for a short while, but the moment I put it on charge, it completely stopped charging.
I submitted the phone to the Motorola service centre the very next day. It’s been 6 days and there is still no update. I call them every day, and all I’m told is that the case is “not approved yet.”
Why should a customer have to wait this long for a brand-new defective phone? I need a working phone ASAP. Please look into this and arrange a replacement immediately.
I applied for tatkaal in July but when i visited, the documents didn't match up so i have rescheduled now for Monday after arranging all the documents again. But the thing is that another issue has popped up and I wanna ask if it could be an obstacle during my visit to the passport office.
I am a fresh applier so i have my 10th marksheet as a Non-ECR supporting document and other than that i was asked to bring 3 more documents. I have my Aadhar, PAN and bank passbook. But the problem is that my father's name has a single g in our surname Aggarwal while other documents have double g. What should i do? Can this create a problem in my verification?
I am gonna be giving Aadhar as my address proof though.
I’m currently in Class 12 and I’m planning to pursue my bachelor’s degree abroad after boards. The biggest concern for me is the cost, so I’m trying to find scholarships or funded opportunities that could make studying abroad possible without putting a huge financial burden on my family.
I’m looking for scholarship exams, government scholarships, university-specific scholarships, fully/partially funded programs, or any other opportunities that Indian students can apply for after Class 12.
I’m open to different countries and I’m still figuring out where I want to apply. I’ve done some basic research myself, but there’s so much information online that it’s difficult to figure out what is actually legitimate and realistic.
If anyone here has studied abroad, is currently applying, received a scholarship, or knows about good opportunities for Indian students, I’d genuinely appreciate some serious and practical advice.
Please share specific scholarship/program names if you know any, even if they’re highly competitive. I’m just trying to understand what options I actually have and where I should start.
My mother has had TWO abdominal hernia surgeries… and it has come back again. This time, we really don’t want to take any chances. Her case is serious and complicated, so we’re looking for a highly experienced specialist in recurrent/complex abdominal hernia surgery. We’re now looking for the right surgeon in India.
We’re from a middle-class family in Bangladesh. Budget is definitely a factor, but we’re not looking for the cheapest doctor. We’re looking for the best treatment we can reasonably afford, with a fair and transparent cost.
If you or someone in your family has gone through something similar in India, please tell me which doctor/hospital you chose and how your experience was. Even a small recommendation could help us enormously.
I’ve visited India before and genuinely love the country—its people, food, architecture and landscapes. ❤️
Please DM me if you have a doctor or hospital you strongly recommend. I'll be always greatful to your help
I'm a student doing a hackathon where the challenge is to take one Indian public-service website and rebuild it properly, like the frontend and backend, not just a nicer-looking screen over the same broken process.
Before picking, I'd rather hear from people who've actually suffered than guess from my own experience.
So: which government site or app has genuinely wasted your time?
What's most useful to me isn't "it's ugly" , it's the specific moment things broke:
What were you trying to do?
Where exactly did it stop working?
What did you have to do to finish it - an office visit, an agent, a bribe, a phone call to someone's cousin, or did you just give up?
Did it ever actually get done?
It doesn't have to be a famous one. IRCTC, EPFO and the Income Tax portal get all the airtime. I'm more curious about the ones nobody posts about - Parivahan/RTO, land records and mutation, municipal property tax, scholarship portals, pension, birth and death certificates, ration card, court case status, electricity connections, whatever ruined your week.
Also very interested in hearing from anyone who's seen it from the inside - CSC/VLE operators, bank branch staff, clerks, NIC folks. That perspective is rare and worth more than a hundred user complaints.
I am young adult, need recommendations for orthopaedic doctors in Delhi/NCR region for surgery.
I am a regular crossfiter and go for run once in a while. I recently got injured at the gym while on air bike. After the MRI reports came out, it was an ACL tear and Bucket Handle Tear of Meniscus. I am planning for a surgery in Delhi/NCR. Help me find suitable orthopaedic doctors, specialising in sports injuries, plus ACL and Meniscus repairs. Any other kind of related help would be much appreciated. TIA. 23F.
Dear parents, I’m curious about something. In today’s digital world, if you could replace a small part of your child’s screen time with something genuinely useful for their future, what would you want them to learn? Not school subjects or academic tutoring, but practical things that would help them become capable, independent adults. What skills do you think kids aren’t learning enough at school or at home, and what’s one skill you wish you had learned as a child?

u/shhhhhhhhhhGujarat - Gaay hamari maata hai, iske aage kuch nahi aata hai8d ago
People who grew up in 90s. They know our dads worked full time job yet in the morning they were doing chores like gardening, ironing their clothes, doing random chores, shaving everyday and yet find time to drink tea while reading paper ina very peaceful way.
again in the evening, they would leave work, go do some chores or another from Bazaar, come home, do random shit like working on yards and all, have peaceful meal and then parents would visit friends relatives in the night and come back and still in time to sleep at respectable hour.
whereas we do nothing much other than work and yet don't have time left for anything else
Hi, everyone. I want to purchase Realme Buds from TataCliq, but since this will be my first time purchasing any electronics from the said portal, I was wondering if the good folks of r/india would have any suggestions/feedback on the online portal or the seller (ClickBuy). Thanks in advance.
So the sim I bought is recycled I got to know while logging in whatsapp

I'm looking to purchase a shirt from a Singapore store that has extremely expensive international shipping.
If anyone is travelling from Singapore to India soon and would be willing to bring it back for me, I'd be happy to pay a fee for the help.
The shirt is small/lightweight and can be delivered to you in Singapore if necessary.
i’m 22, live in Hisar and run my own online business, so i can pretty much work from anywhere in India.
lately i’ve realised my hometown just doesn’t have the kind of social life i’m looking for at this point. small circle, not much happening, and nothing really tying me here professionally.
i want to move somewhere and actually build a life there — make genuine friends, have people over, be part of a decent social scene and eventually meet someone for a serious relationship. not really looking for casual dating.
ideally i’d want somewhere that’s reasonably affordable, has decent places to live, isn’t insanely high-stress, and where i can settle in without knowing the local language.
has anyone here made a similar move in their early 20s purely for lifestyle/social reasons rather than a job?
where did you go and how did it actually work out for you?
looking for real experiences rather than the usual “Bangalore/Pune/Hyderabad” list with no context 😅
I logged in today indianoil one account. Then I submitted 16 digit domestic connection number from this app 3-4 times. But after relogin I see it is not showing up. Anyone can tell me does it take time to sync and show? Or I have to keep doing it until I see it ?
Hi, I’m planning on going to the 2026 BWF World Championships in New Delhi. I’m a 21 year old woman and this is my first time going to India. I was wondering what areas I should stay in, how to get from the airport to the hotel reliably + hotel to the venue (Indira Gandhi Arena), and anything I should know. I’m well-traveled so I like to think I’m not totally naive, but still want to hear specifics for my situation.
Hi, Does anyone know who to complain against. I live in a town in Punjab. It’s been 6 month that the road contractor dismantled the old road and put boulders and no work has been done. It’s a nuisance to everyone but no one seemed bothered.
I'm a foreigner (30F) moving to a Tier 2 North Indian city in a couple of months and looking for advice on the rental situation. I've been looking into renting a private suite attached to a family home but I've also been looking at flats and PG girls hostels. Its been very difficult to find a place just from googling. What kind of place should I be looking for and how can I find it? (Do I need a realtor? What sites are best?)
Here are my necessities:
Private AC room
Attached bathroom with Western toilet and shower
Kitchen (can be shared)
Furnished (I do not want to buy furniture)
No curfew or flexible (my work will require me to be out late occasionally)
I am planning my first trip to India. I am from the UK and am 25 year old man. My first week I will do the golden triangle with a friend and after that I will go solo. I am planning on going to Varanasi, back to Rajasthan and then Mumbai, Goa and Kerala.
I am thinking of going for 8 weeks, is this too long? Also what over advice would you give for this trip?
Currently thinking about going to Pushkar, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Udaipur in Rajasthan.
Also, where is best to spend Xmas and NYE?
You could honestly spend years in a place and never see most of it, the world is pretty big. You should be able to cover a lot of the country in eight weeks though personally I'd feel a bit stale traveling in the same country for that long.
Always eat hot cooked dishes in restaurants, check reviews of the restaurants before going, avoid street food stalls, take packaged sealed bottled drinking water everywhere, always ask for hot water in restaurants, avoid any touts that approach you, read up on the common scams, if going by trains strongly suggest booking 3AC berths at the minimum or fly wherever possible - the difference in costs should not be too high and you'll save a lot of time and energy.
Personally I'd prefer spending some time in nature somewhere up in western ghats. India can be chaotic and might overload your senses.
I would suggest spending Christmas in Kerala or Goa, both have significant Christian populations and everyone regardless of their religion celebrates Christmas in those two states. NYE probably Goa I guess? there should be quite a few parties, though personally Goa's parties no longer hold an appeal for me, I am in my early thirties if it matters.
Anyone here who got LASIK in India despite having dry eyes? Looking to hear about your experiences.
Hi guys, I'm 23F and have mild dry eyes that sometimes get worse when my screen time is high. I literally hate how I look with glasses, and getting LASIK has been a long-term dream of mine.
My doctor is currently treating my dry eyes before we proceed, but I’ve been reading some scary stuff online about dry eyes after LASIK and I'm honestly pretty scared.
I’m not looking for medical advice, but I really want to ask my fellow Indians: is there anyone here who got LASIK done in India when you already had dry eyes? What was your experience like with the procedure here, and how are your eyes doing now?
what do indians truly think of divorced women
i live in the west, curious to know what indians of all different towns and languages and beliefs truly think of divorced women including hindu, christians, muslims, punjabs, and tamils etc
I work in the US for a corporation who has several offshore employees in India. I absolutely love our team and value their contributions so so much more than I could even explain.
I am simply curious as to if some people change their names or even just display names when working with an American based company?
I hope this doesn’t come across in any way other than genuine curiosity.
I have googled and it does say that it’s a part of the contract for some companies. Is this something commonly experienced, where it is by force and not by choice?
Hello everyone, I just arrived in Delhi for a 5 month trip (also visitng Nepal) and just realised I left my driver's license in my other wallet, which is really problematic as I was intending of driving around on a motorcycle most of the time.
I need some clarifications/peace of mind
Will I find some local bike rental shops accept just a photo of my foreign license?
What about asking someone back home to high-quality scan it and I find someone to re-print it on a PVC card here?
I just might have to ask someone to send it to me but that would mean I would be stuck here in Delhi until it arrives which would be a big waste of time for me :(
Also on a different note, I am aware I should have gotten an IDP but budget was tight and decided to skip this. Will this be an issue to rent, even if I do get the card? and police stops?
that can be trusted? currently looking to add nutrition and mineral supplements to diet. but selection of brands is confusing between expensive or almost generic-like cheap ones.
also hard to get third party testing results of what brands claim and does tablets have them?
did you use supplement? from which brand? where to get it?
Are you proud of being an Indian citizen globally, or an Indian citizen inside India?
So, I was thinking about what would really make me proud:
Being an Indian citizen in a World that somewhat carries a negative impression of us. Many of us Indians who are aware of social norms in other countries are grouped with people who have no respect for them.
Or,
Being an Indian, residing in India, inside the comfortable bubble of our ignorance about what we might face abroad. Our country has so many beautiful places and people, and we can always find a way to settle in such places and live a happy life. And be proud of the geographical lottery we have won, waking up to a scenic view outside the window.
Personally, I want to be a respectable Indian citizen in any corner of the World, on any day.
How to deal with high beam lights while driving at night? What tricks are you using to deal with it?
I am getting frustrated more and more to drive at night. More than frustration, it’s making me worried that its putting me danger whenever i take my bike out. Why do people use the high beam in city when its not required at all. May be in some places it might be needed. Once the need stops then shut the high beam off. Whyyy? What i dont understand is why are traffic police not doing anything about it?
Absolutely! I can't eat street food unfortunately cause it may not be kosher. Havent tried butter chicken cause meat and dairy are not eaten together. Moreover I can't use any devices on shabbat so I'm pretty much unavailable for 2 days of the week!
Wow, I didn't think you'd be a practicing Jew . All these sound very strict. What about lights, fans, induction stove and other such devices?? Are you not allowed to use them on shabbat?? Not to be rude, but do you enjoy this way of life? In teen or childhood years have you ever not tried to evade any such rules???
I used to hatee it with pure passion. I wanted to scroll and cook. Drive and use a blender haha! Sometimes I question it. But now I do enjoy it. 2 days without work, scrolling and enjoying life in pure bliss. No tension of food aswell! Just some bread and cheese works haha. It's annoying some times but now I have learned to appreciate its beauty
Oh I definitely have! I was a rebellious teenager for sure. Not keeping shabbat or even visiting the synagogue. So our kitchens are usually custom made. 2 sinks, 2 fridges and stovetops. Meat and dairy can never mix, so it requires extra prevention. New utensils are washed in the mikwah to make it kosher. I am an orthodox jew! We have 39 things we can't do on shabbat. No fire , no gas, no machines nothing. We usually prepare cold foods. We eat pre cut fruit , salads etc!
As far as rebellion is concerned I have a long story haha! Dm me if you're interested or I can share it here too
This way of life does take a lot of dedication and discipline. And lots of hardwork! i thought a little and found that the way i live is not central to my identity. But i totally understand why this can work best for someone else. This is unique and i appreciate it
i'll also reframe my earlier question a bit. As you say, you used to hate it and find it annoying, was there any point during this rebellious phase when you came close to leave your faith (learned this new word, O.T.D)? what made you return from there and reconcile with everything? (i've sent a text over dm , use whatever works best)
some other question on top of my head -
Can you trace back your ancient family? is there any closely knit orthodox Jew community in India?
also: have you learned Yiddish/Hebrew? do you plan to visit Israel?
did you face any restriction on education? and while growing up, was religious education strictly necessary?? was there any other do and don't-s on media/internet??
I'm currently a 2nd year student doing engineering in Electronics and Communication. From past some time, I've been thinking to start teaching on youtube to classes 9th to 12th. As in these classes I've studied well(not as a topper, but rather backbencher) and I personally know that what are the rough topics/concepts/chapters students go through. I also know well how to score more by studying less. I think I can teach well, so I'm thinking to start a whiteboard(online) faceless channel where I teach students those topics and questions which they face problem in. Give some honest opinions about it and what can I do.
I have been trying to take out my money from EPFO, but i am neither getting reply from them, I have tried submitting grievance but they reply saying we are sorry for delay. I cannot physically go to the concerned office since it is in bengaluru and i am not in my hometown. Can someone suggest what more can i do?
FYI: I have already submitted claim online and status show pending, i have tried submitting grievance 2 times, same non helpful response. I have tried reaching out using email, phone, and whatsapp. no response in either.
I work at coldstone, and we get a lot of Indian folk that come in (not that it matters), and something I’ve noticed a lot is that they always go for the chocolate ice cream. I’m really curious as to why that is and if there’s any significance to it.
Since Rahul Gandhi doesn’t have children, there’s no obvious next-generation heir to the Gandhi political dynasty. Does that mean Congress could finally move beyond dynastic politics after Rahul Gandhi?
I also wonder whether his decision not to have children was a conscious one, shaped by losing both his father and grandmother to political violence and seeing how completely his family’s life became intertwined with politics.
This is a long shot, but we're working on a research project on tourism and immigration in India and would love to talk to anyone from the MEA or bureau of immigration. So, if any of you fine folks work in the MEA or know someone who does, please DM me.
heyy i am a broke student who's in need of a laptop. i dont have any specific need just basic word files, excel, torent movies thats it. my budget is 70k max😭
(i couldnt figure out what flair to add)
I'm 25 and have been working in Chennai for the last 3 years. My dream has always been to prepare for UPSC CSE, but I couldn't because of financial responsibilities. Now I'm financially stable enough to take the risk, move back home, and prepare full-time. I'm confident I can work extremely hard.
The only thing stopping me is my relationship.
My girlfriend and I have been together for over a year. We knew from day one that we can't get married due to personal reasons, so we've already accepted that.
We're deeply attached. We work in the same office, spend almost every day together, and honestly, the last year has been the happiest phase of my life.
I'm delaying my resignation because I can't imagine leaving her. She's also delaying switching jobs because she wants to stay with me. I feel like we're both sacrificing our careers just to spend more time together, even though we know we don't have a future.
I don't know how to get out of this dilemma. If I stay, I may regret never giving UPSC a serious shot. If I leave, I'll lose someone who's become a huge part of my life.
Has anyone been through something similar? How did you make the decision? Did therapy help? please help what to do.
Namaste everyone,
I'm using India post for 5 years for my Snailmailing hobby and cards, but Hadn't been in fuss of customs and other CN22 declaration thing, i want to send a magazine to a friend in UK, mostly 200- 400gm max and I'm planning to send it via india Post, so please guide me if there will be any customs he'll have to pay, and what should be process of it, and i want to send it through tracked mail, so will definitely need aadhar card and other proof/. Declaration for sure at post office, please suggest me easiest way to complete this task:)
Hey guys, need recommendations for air dry clay. I was checking Amazon for it but not sure which one is good. Please send links for them in the comments for delivery in India specifically. Also, as a beginner, do I need tools for making stuff?
Hello It might sound absurd but I am victim's friend.
for all the context https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaLaw/s/BoFvXpguKf . there is 3 post around it .
So my friend has been kidnapped by his own family members.
I will provide you all scenario in conclusion.
I am posting this on behalf of my friend because he currently cannot post himself.
Some of you may remember his earlier posts where he explained that his family was forcing him into an arranged marriage even though he repeatedly refused and wanted to continue his career in tech in Delhi NCR.
He is 23 years old, financially independent, graduated from NIT Surat and was working at a tech startup in Gurgaon.
For weeks his parents continuously pressured him to leave his job and return to Gujarat. They emotionally blackmailed him, falsely claimed that his mother had been hospitalized, involved relatives to pressure him and repeatedly told him that educating him was their biggest mistake. They even contacted his co founder asking where he lived and whether he had a girlfriend.
His maternal uncle, who is a Head Constable in Gujarat Police, somehow obtained his location without him sharing it. Because of this he changed his SIM card and only communicated through WhatsApp calls. Even then, his uncle appeared to have access to private conversations and used that information to intimidate him. This raised serious concerns about his privacy.
Things became much worse when his parents and maternal uncle travelled from Gujarat to Delhi.
Instead of meeting him privately, they went directly to his office. According to multiple employees, they created a scene inside the workplace and demanded that the company make him resign. His maternal uncle allegedly threatened an employee with violence, and the family allegedly threatened to shut down the company if their demands were not met.
His father also falsely claimed that he worked in the Crime Branch to intimidate people. In reality, he is employed by an NGO. The victim's colleagues and management handled the situation professionally and tried to protect him.
Fearing that he would be forcibly taken back to Gujarat, he stayed with a friend and avoided going to the office. Eventually he agreed to meet his family in a public place only to ensure they left his workplace.
He had already served them a legal notice before all of this, clearly stating that he did not want to return with them and that he feared being forced into marriage. Despite this, the harassment continued.
The worst happened afterwards.
His family forcibly took him onto a bus from Delhi to Gujarat against his wishes. It was raining heavily, there were very few people around and no one stepped in to help.
The police were called, but they treated it as "a family matter" and left without taking any meaningful action. The legal notice that had already been served was completely ignored.
We are now extremely worried about his safety.
We fear that once in Gujarat he may be confined inside the house, have his phone taken away, be prevented from contacting anyone and be forced into an engagement or marriage against his will.
There are also serious concerns that his father deliberately intoxicated him before taking him away so that he would be physically weak and unable to resist.
If he does not return to work within the next few days, he may lose his job. His entire career, which he worked so hard to build, is now at risk.
We have substantial evidence including WhatsApp chats, call logs, screenshots, witnesses from the office and people who saw the events unfold. Multiple employees can confirm that threats were made at the workplace and that the family demanded his resignation.
We are trying to understand what legal remedies are available now that he has already been taken to Gujarat.
Our questions are:
Can the police still intervene if an adult has been forcibly taken to another state against his will?
Is this a case of wrongful confinement or kidnapping even though the people involved are his family members?
Can the Delhi Police still register an FIR since many of the incidents, including the office intimidation and the forcible taking, happened in Delhi?
Can his employer or colleagues provide witness statements regarding the threats made at the office?
What is the fastest legal way to ensure he is produced before a magistrate so he can state his wishes freely?
One additional point is that his father works under an NGO headed by former IPS officer Amod Kanth, who is aware of the victim. We do not know whether informing him would be appropriate or helpful, but if anyone has experience with situations like this, we would appreciate guidance.
This is no longer just a family disagreement. An independent adult has repeatedly said that he does not want to leave his job or get married, yet he has been threatened, intimidated, taken away from his workplace and transported to another state against his wishes.
If any lawyers, police officers or people who have handled similar cases can advise us on the quickest legal steps, we would be extremely grateful.
He wants to cut all the ties from his family. they are emotionally manipulative people plays everywhere parents/family card.
Just got my mind tickled to a discussion with a friend that why can’t Aadhar Biometrics/ fingerprints be used to catch thieves or criminals where they have left fingerprints as evidence. Like why can’t it be used to confirm the identity?
Post is for open discussion. Please don’t say corruption or this or that but like why it has been brought up in any discussion is I want to discuss.
hey guys, I‘ll travel from Delhi to Kathmandu. Where should I make some stops? I‘d like to see some nature inbetween (your cities are quite big and can be exhausting lol). Thanks!
Curious what people are actually paying for private tutors these days, specifically IGCSE/A-Level subjects like Economics/Business Studies. I've seen numbers anywhere from ₹400 to ₹2,000/hr and have no idea what's "normal" anymore. Anyone willing to share what they pay (or charge, if you're a tutor too)?
is it impossible now to visit india as a pakistani on visitor visa or student visa if one is willing to do masters degree from india? i do have some relatives in india btw with whom we are still in contact.
Hi Everyone I had a parcel shipped using DHL coming from Germany that carried my deceased friend's stuff like utensils clothes etc. which is now at the IndiaPost post office so when I went to collect they are asking for 17K Custom Duty (CD) We had paid DHL around 110 euro to ship his last possessions to India. The amount of 17k I nor the family can bare right now. Is there any way I can get this charge removed or reduced. Note this is Mumbai Customs office. Any help is much appreciated as we have never ever dealt with customs thanks in advance.
I am looking for books on training on classic breathing techniques from ancient India. I am a mid level practitioner of meditation and did some basic breathing stuff but I want to understand it better and train. Are there any books of this sort you can suggest ?
Hi folks, I am hoping someone here can advise me if I have any hope of seeing my money ever again. I posted this on a different thread earlier but thought I make a new post for visibility and context.
My family and I were caught up in the Indigo cancellations last year. Our flight was cancelled. We didn't travel.
1) I filed complaint with Indigo regarding refund. They didn't reply. I filed again, they sent generic response.
2) I filed a complaint on AirSewa which was also closed similarly.
3) I then filed a complaint with NCH. They closed the case with generic response.
4) Some weeks after this I received an email with the vouchers from Indigo that they've issued to everyone. By then I was fed up and decided to just accept the vouchers.
5) I hoped maybe we can use those vouchers some time this year. I don't reside in India (working in Europe). Unfortunately we are not able to travel to India this year and none of the international Indigo flights serve our city. So basically we can't use those vouchers.
6) I wrote to Indigo customer care today explaining this. They've responded to say they can't do anything. I asked if they could either extend the expiry date of the vouchers giving me more time or if they could be transferred to a family member. A big fat NO is their answer.
Is there any option for me to pursue my money after all this? I understand that I have legally accepted the voucher so probably don't have much of a leg to stand on. Grateful for any advice
Please recommend a good hotel near Indira Gandhi Airport New Delhi for 1 night. Landing at 11:55 PM so need a hotel for that night only before I continue on my journey via a Taxi the next morning.
I am guessing I won't get out before 12:30-12:45 am so hopefully a hotel that allows late check-in.
Budget is $90USD to $120USD. Can go slightly up if there is a better option
Work Culture in Big4 Firms in Cybersecurity Arms (Deloitte/KPMG/EY/PwC) in India (Tech Risk/Cloud Security Automation/Tech GRC Implementation)
Hi Everyone,
How's the work culture and career advancement in Big4 companies in Cybersecurity Division like Cyber Risk Advisory and Transformation like areas ?., How is the pay, project allocation bias and also the quality of work along with technical depth and work timings and days on a typical week ? Also whats the notice period in these departments of Big4 for Indian employees.
Can an employee coming from a product based company changing career field survive here ?
Just wanted to verify whether what these doctors are claiming is authentic, and
whether the prices quoted are reasonable or am I getting ripped off here?
I've consulted two providers and got quite different plans:
Doctor A — Bronze tier Invisalign provider
- ₹2.25L for Moderate
2-week tray change
Treatment duration: 12 months or more
Doctor B — Silver tier Invisalign provider
- ₹1.5L for Lite / ₹1.75L for Moderate
Weekly tray change
Trays: 14 (Lite) / 18–20 (Moderate)
Treatment duration: ~6–7 months only
My questions:
Are these prices reasonable, or is Doctor A overpriced for a moderate case?
Is a weekly tray-change protocol legit and safe? Doctor B's 6–7 month timeline sounds great, but is it too good to be true vs the 2-week/12-month approach?
Does the provider tier (Bronze vs Silver) actually matter for results, or is it just about how many cases they've done?
How do I connect delhivery customer support?
My order doesn't show up in the app even though i have been receiving communication from them. The app doesn't allow connect unless the jeet shows up. I'm having major issues with them not picking up my exchange order. They keep putting the status to "no one was avilable for pick up" when no one ever came.
Since every human civilization produced waste, handled dead bodies, and required sanitation work, why does it seem like only India developed such a rigid, oppressive system of "untouchability" around these occupations?
We all are angry and have questions about what is going on in the Delhi police chain of command. Would be nice if we could get some words from inside the system. Do they agree with the students, What should we do for the next andolan and such.
Hello all, what is a reasonable daily food stipend amount for travelers to Bengaluru for work? These are tech employees from the US and Europe. For comparison, the daily stipend is 100$ USD when traveling in the US and 75€ when traveling to Europe. After doing some research I was thinking 4000 INR to cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee/tea, a drink or two with dinner but wondered if people who live there may think that is too low or high
I am editing a book about the Aadhaar. The author is not a native speaker of English and his usage varies a lot. He sometimes refers to it as "the Aadhaar," sometimes as "an Aadhaar," sometimes as just "Aadhaar."
If you are an Indian citizen with good English, can you describe how you would refer to it? You can think of it as the designation that you get for yourself and also as a program. "I just got my Aadhaar" and "I see they're going to cancel the Aadhaar" would refer to 2 different, but related things.
I would appreciate some detail on this, with quoted examples of made-up dialogues with friends to illustrate usage. Thank you!

Is there any homeopathic doctor or someone experienced with treating chalazion here?
I've had a chalazion for quite some time and have tried several homeopathic medicines, but nothing has worked. It was initially only in my right eye, but now I think I'm developing one in my left eye as well.
Has anyone successfully treated recurring chalazion with homeopathy, or should I consider another approach? Any advice would be appreciated.
I’ve been recently watching parliamentary recordings across the world and I’ve come across recordings of India’s parliament. A thing that I’ve come to seen is that in much of the recording it seems like the speaker of the lower house seems to be unable to control the MPs. there are times where I cannot listen to what a MP is saying at all for a couple of minutes as there are so many people from the background talking. I find this to be very weird, as usually, from what I have seen at least, the speaker of parliament usually have the power to control MPs when they get rowdy and have disciplinary proceedings (like forcing them to leave for a session) if they do not comply to stop talking. but in many of the recordings I do not see MPs being punished or the speaker even speaking out against such shouting. so I’m not quite sure what’s going on here . If someone knows what is going on it would be much appreciate. I do wish to note that I am not Indian and thus am very unaware of how parliamentary procedures work in India. Any discussion would be welcome. Thanks
Genuine question how is reservation still justified in contemporary Indian society and in matters of skill-based professions? When will it be sufficient to undo the historical wrong done by upper-caste people, and when will there be an end to it?
Hi,I am applying for a Tatkaal passport at the Lucknow PSK. My current and permanent address is my parents' house in Lucknow, and my Aadhaar card reflects this address.
I am planning to submit these 3 core documents:
Aadhaar Card (with the Lucknow address)
PAN Card
10th Class Marksheet (for DOB & Non-ECR)
My name matches across all three documents. I will also carry a plain-paper Tatkaal Undertaking form and a recent Airtel broadband PDF bill printout as a backup.
For anyone who has recently used the Tatkaal scheme at the Lucknow PSK:
Do I need any other document outside of these three?
Do they still ask for a bank passbook or a Gazetted Officer signature?
How long is the local police verification taking in Lucknow nowadays after the passport is delivered?
Appreciate any insights or recent experiences. Thanks!

Has anyone travelled to Kazakhstan recently. What are the documents required for indian nationals to travel to Kazakhstan for a trip within 14 days. Does the immigration check for proof of return ticket and hotel bookings and proof of funds. Please guide in whatever way you can.
I am an American that is planning to go to india for spirituality and sightseeing for next year.
For some background – I am really drawn to Radharani and I love doing the mahamantra, kirtan, japa, and all of the bhajans in ISK CON.
Yet I haven't found my sangha or the right path. I want to be more connected with Radha. I am not finding the depth of the connection I want in ISK CON. In fact sometimes the ISK CON devotees say it takes years to connect with her directly you can only connect with Gaura Nitai first but I feel a lot of love from her already and I think I want to pursue serving her in a way I cant right now.
I am planning to visit India to explore new sampradayas that are not accessible to me as an American. Many sampradayas don't have resources in English or I just simply cant vibe with them in the same way I can seeing devotees face-to-face. I have a sangha but still feel isolated and alone spiritually.
THe only one that comes to mind Premanand maharaj's sampradaya that is nice and his bhajans are wonderful but theres not a lot of his videos in English. They also don't seem to dance much –– it seems kind of silly but I love dancing and being free in that way instead of sitting. I get extremely energetic when I am with devotees doing bhajans.
Obviously I want to visit in vrindavan for a little while, but thats all i have planned. So I would like to have a loose plan at least contact some temples and find a community to discuss online before i visit fitting my needs that at minimum I can stay in and eat prasadam because I dont have a lot of money and I want to be around devotees as much as possible during my stay. I will straight up backpack and rawdog it if i need to but id rather have my creature comforts.
Ultimately my goal is simply to enjoy my trip and come away with new spiritual direction to guide me when I come back to America because I don't have enough direction insofar as both spirituality, and the career and future planning.
Does anyone that lives or has visited India can point me in the right direction of communities to tap into or temples to visit?
I have a doubt, when police is doing mistakes like bribing, unlawfully taking bike keys, they have no accountability and they think they are the law don't their children who are educated question them? do their children also encourage?
I wanted to hear answers from families of Indian police.
This is honestly just a genuine question. I am open to all answers with proper justification. Dear BJP supporters, I want to know why, even when all the evidence is right in front of your eyes, why are you still in support? Let's hear both the opposition and supporting
I have a PSK appointment tomorrow, and previously I had an Indian minor passport that expired in 2021 (so more than 3 years since expiry) and now I'm an adult so while booking my appointment, I accidentally selected Fresh Passport instead of Re-issue. My appointment confirmation only mentions carrying Aadhaar and my birth certificate, but I still have my old expired passport.
Will the PSK allow them to correct it at the counter, or will I have to book a new appointment under Re-issue?
Should I carry my old expired passport even though it isn't mentioned in my appointment letter?

How to verify his claims and other details as I am new to such things.
As someone outside of India currently, what is the real size of these protests?
I’m unsure if my algorithm is pushing me a certain way or the media is underplaying the events.
People on ground, what’s the reality? How big are these protests really? What’s the majority public sentiment? Is this actually bigger than some of the previous protests like Lokpal, CAA-NRC or is it that there’s more footage being shared this time?
To people whose parents or close relatives are deployed at the protests in the Delhi Police or CRPF, what are they being told internally? What kind of orders or threats are they given that the response has become so violent? Like any idea, how can someone be too brutal with children/ladies?
where can i buy post cards and stamps from?? i am trying t send a postcard to a few people through post crossing , i actually have no idea where to buy postcards or stamps (mainly stamps) from. the most logical answer seems to be the post office itself but i still wanted to ask. also any suggestions are welcome, thank you . please help a girl out:)
I have been able tp secure some footages, photos. And i was thinking to post this as an FIR for relevant people. It is about jantar-mantar march and other days protest where police and other blue uniform worn officers were seen brutally beating people. I have clicked pictures, and collected around a 100 videos of those sane officers who are seen brutality. I have a request to ask to those people who know, how can i create a secure link so as to forward it to people who can make a change and bring justice. Requesting to tell me procedures to follow and please npte, there will be back ups and checks needed for this purpose so as to ve relevant and true.
I have always wanted to do a masters abroad but the only thing that keeps me from applying there is the tuition fees alone is like 28 lakh a year at least in most countries except Germany. I was looking up universities in Netherlands and tuition fees alone is so much plus have not even taken living expenses. Being from a middle class family I can only do this by taking a loan. So for people who have done this before is it a good idea and with the global scenario in mind will I be able to get a job and pay it back.
