Mr.Vijay,

Please change your website's name to Anti-India forums because that's what's happening in this website,specially in Bollywood Forum.

Almost everyday,people make Anti India posts there.Indians are insulted almost everyday yet the mods of that forum hardly do anything.

Look at this post.

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/bollywood/4355715/im-too-dark-for-bollywood-freida-pinto

The Topic maker has marked those sentences in Bold which mock India.And the replies in this topic are beyond pathetic.

One person posts that Indian men allow their wives to work after marriage only in metros.🤢

Another member compared Indians with Arabs by saying that Indians are as regressive as Arabs.🤢

These members who are born and brought up outside India,who have just limited knowledge about India bash Indians almost everyday.

Everyday I read posts about India being called a backward country,Indians being racists,regressive,narrow minded beings,etc.

It's high time you do something about it.If this goes on like this then I am afraid you might not find any Indian member in India forums.

This is routine on "India" Forums.

Keep hitting Report button still mods take no action against blatantly stereotypical and racist posts.

Bollywood section is of course famous for bashing India and Indians at any given opportunity.

And mods letting it go on unabated.

I myself wonder why I joined this site where own country is bashed and stereotyped this much and you have to give clarification about actual state of affairs in own country.

Inaction in this regard is deeply upsetting.

India bashing is rampant in bollywood forum...any post on any topic gets hijacked by bashers. It has become their favourite place to spew venom against India and cast aspersions on Indians. Most of the people passing "informed judgements" have no connection to India at all...they cherry pick biased articles from dubious sources, read them, add spin to them and post it on the Bolly sec...they are adamant on shoving their virulently anti Indian opinions down our throat...one word in India's defense is met with mockery. So much so that I now dread opening threads in the morning , lest my mood get spoiled by people peddling blatant lies.

India is called a land of racists, bigots ..and what not.. if one were to go by the basher's views then it would seem as if India is the worst nation to live in South Asia..which isn't true...some of the bashers trace their origins to places with a worse record..and yet they miss no opportunity to demean India and Indians.

I know that IF has members from all over the world and you can't convert it into a nationalist platform...fair enough..even we don't want it to be anything more than an entertainment platform... all we ask of you is that when bashing our neighbouring countries leads to an increase in WL, India bashing must also be taken seriously.

Anti- India forums, yes, serves you right because all this place does is to give a platform for people outside India to hate and share their hatred about India.

Those self- trained idiots should be taught that fiction is not the right thing to decide what happens in a country. We don't believe in dinosaurs or UFO all because hollywood have movies on them.

India, unfortunately for his haters, is a bit more large and diverse than they think they know.No wonder a racist cartoon was published after India successfully completed the Mars mission.Little knowledge is always a dangerous thing.

As Anu has already given you links where so called moderators were suppose to take action and they didn't I don't have much to say. May be they are still searching for the rule book. To do or not to do is the question, we understand.Take your time, no worries.

But let us know about the namkaran.

nothing new ... India Bashing at India -Forums is Nothing new and Mods never take any action abt it bcz majority of Mods are NRIs or Pakistani background ... u defend ur country or u say a word abt a pakistani singer or actor and u will be tagged as an anti pakistani , ur WL will be increased while other ppl are allowed to say anything against india and Indians

memories are still fresh in my mind when few years back our great Mods forgot to make Indian Independence thread a GA , and our Indian members were wishing " Happy Independence Day to India " in Pakistani independence day thread which was GA a day before their independence day , while we didnt even know if anyone has created Indian independence day thread or not and after our complain it was made GA on 16th of august , a day later 😆

and then our Egoistic mods never accept their mistake and as usual in their rude manner use ( oppsss Mis-Use) their power of closing threads 😉

that time too we suggested Vijay to Change India-forums name and suggested him to remove India's name if India can not be respected here ...

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/suggestions-comments/1233859/where-is-indian-independence-day-thread

Nothing has changed after that sadly

also wanna highlight the difference between our tolerance level and other ppl's

Pakistani comedians bashed Indians and India and Not a single Pakistani member criticized them but actually they agreed with them

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/bollywood/4342398/pakistani-comedian-making-fun-of-india-and-anushka-sharma

and If our Poor Abhijit or kunal or in past Abhijit ,Sunidhi , asha bhonsle or Jagjit singh has ever said anything against Atif Aslam or any other paki singer ... they were bashed like anything including by some of our Indian members 🤔

Seekho kuch upar wali thread se ... apne logon ko bash nahin karte hain , Have our Pakistani members bashed their own comedians ??? No ...

I agree.
Any post abt actors targetting anything related to India becomes a fav place for country bashers.
The worst is d gross generalisation of men over issues as sensitive as rapes & molestation.
I do agree that our country does have many probs, but den which nation doesnt?
I dont think bashing of other countries will be tolerated as much as India bashing is!
Its like a daily fashion to bash/mock India & show how intellectual you.
India is a land of rascist, bigots, chauvinists etc etc.
And if you try to speak in favour of ur ppl, u r mocked as well.
Although I do not comment regularly in d Bollywood Forum, I do follow each & every discussion & have noticed this trend of bashing India in each n every topic of late.
Its quite disturbing cuz I've grown up in such a progressive environment & I know India is not like how its presented on d International platform.
All men are not rapist, molester or chauvinist... women even in d most remote part of d country go out & work what little dey can, only to support their family.
Sadly these things are largely overlooked & ppl judge us on d basis of all d wrong incidents happening.

Lastly, I too request you to look into this matter asap.
WL of members are raised who talk anything against other countries, then why cant it be of d members who actively participate in India bashing in almost every thread?

Completely agree with the post makers and the replies.

This is the sad reality of the so called 'India Forums' where saying anything in favour of India makes you disgusting and despicable. 🥱

Rightly said please rename this to "Anti India Forums" or "NRI Forums" because the India bashing that happens is majorly done by NRIs who never been to India or know nothing about the ground realities. 👎🏼

If any one talks about other countries they are warned and WL raised because we have to be sickular and inclusive but some one bashing India is make to look like some one very cool. India bashing is the latest trend in IF specially in Bollywood forum. 🤢

There was a slogan contest before WC and it had a slogan related to Kashmir and some people got offened of the REALITY and mods didnt waste a minute in deleting that. 🤢 I was shocked to see the response. It is India forums people will obviously say something that favour India, Never knew what was the reason of deleting that . 👎🏼

Mods please look into the suggestion of renaming the site. 😃

this is laugh worthy when pakistaani members bash india and blame it for being regressive , they should first see to their own country but looks like they just come here only to bash india bcs on india forum it is allowed

why there is double standard we cant say anything against other countries but other can bash our country openly?
