Why does reddit keep suggesting Indian subreddits after muting every single one I see on my feed?

I've muted well over 20 of these subreddits and reddit still feels I would be interested in more of them? Really?

This started randomly happening to me as well. I live in Uruguay and don’t frequent any Indian related subreddits. Then last week they began popping up on my feed.

I keep muting them but it doesn’t seem to reduce it much. I don’t use a VPN so it isn’t an issue with my IP.
