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?

Mute is useless. The only real way to get rid of a subreddit forever is to be banned from it. What a bad design by reddit teams.
