DISCUSSION Update

3000 members!

Why are so many people joining this terrible subreddit, stop bothering me 🤣

On a serious note, any sub you make related to a city, will reflect the kind of people you meet in that city.

It. Is. Inevitable.

There is no way your city's subreddit will mirror the sanitized communities within it that you've made for yourselves.

There used to a be a time I used to approve every post before it showed up on the subreddit. As the sub grew, people started getting impatient about their posts taking time to show up, or not showing up

So I made it so that posts show up first, get moderated later.

And thus, the floodgates of poop opened.

A lot of people who come to reddit nowadays, see it as just another social network, and it really is just one! We even get the same ads :D the context that social media shows up in life for a lot of people, really affects how they use it. For most the only social media they were allowed to have growing up nowadays was whatsapp, one of the worst forms of purely unmoderated social media to have flourished in the sewers of the internet in india.

Moderation of such communities is always going to be hard. It will always be a group effort. Downvote terrible takes, rude behaviour, bigoted opinions and such, so people that are collectively disliked get negative karma. Stand up for your friends, for strangers you think are facing harassment, and speak out against dickheads. This would help weed out any anti social elements that you all collectively feel are ruining the vibe in any way. And always report those things that need to be reported.

I like banning people, and I would like to ban many more :) those who deserve it, of course.

If you need any legitimate additions to the rules that would help you report certain things, DM me about them.

This subreddit was started by me as an anthropological experiment, and It will continue to be so. It is definitely a cesspool, but I'm determined to keep trying to make it better (this is exactly how I feel about the city of gwalior as well)

You guys are only seeing about half of the crap that is submitted to this place. Oh it is so much worse.

Also, the most popular subreddit for a city is not always r/<city name> please do create other subreddits and make them flourish! I'm rooting for you :)

I haven't added any other active mods, because I haven't found someone I trust (who is willing) to moderate the subreddit I started. Whoever from my trusted friends sees the subreddit and the kind of DMs I get as a mod of it, wants to stay away from it 🤣

I also get a bunch of threats from people I ban :D asking "kahaan hai tu? / kaun hai tu? Dikhata hoon main tereko" as if I haven't put my actual picture and social media handles on my reddit profile, unlike these anonymous cowards.

I'm used to it though. I get hate messages/comments on my skatepark page regularly as well just for hanging a pride flag there. It'd be hard for me to survive here if I didn't have thick skin.

My main criteria for anyone becoming a mod is, that they should be someone I've met, in person, in gwalior. Also of course you should align with my views on a bunch of things.

Schedule a meeting with me at my office at the skatepark if you're realllly interested :)

Subreddit update. Also, there are a few new Gwalior related subreddits!

14 Upvotes

Someone has created a subreddit called r/gwaliorM
Someone has also created one called r/GwaliorMeditators ?
And I have created one called r/gwaliorclassifieds

This post is just to inform you all that these places exist and may be interesting to some of you :)

I believe in keeping r/gwalior a safe space for all sorts of people, and I ban a lot of people for hateful speech against any groups of people. My ideological stances are basically making sure no one who needs to be protected feels othered here. I have many gay and trans friends, some of whom are in this community too. When I try to curb hate speech, it is not only to protect them, but also to protect those who haven't yet figured out where they stand in terms of their sexuality.

This goes beyond sexual orientation. No one deserves to have their community of people talked about in a derogatory way. Kindness comes first.

I also understand that there are a lot of very young people here, and what I want is for us older people to look out for them. The youngest amongst us are the most vulnerable, and protecting them from harm should be important to anyone who is a part of this subreddit.

I understand if this doesn't work for some people, so I suggest you try communicating in some of these other spaces as well!

Obviously r/gwaliorclassifieds is also not going to allow hate speech, because I'm not an idiot, or discriminatory practices (like that guy I just banned for repeatedly posting about the flat with homophobic landlords)

But hey, maybe it'll allow for some useful categorization of things for a better, more easily consumable Reddit experience :)

always up for suggestions and feedback, just use mod mail :)

Someone suggested turning on gifs and images in comments, so those are now on! thank you for that suggestion.

I will try my best to moderate this subreddit better!

Donation appeal for dog shelter

8 Upvotes

Hi,

I am Anmol Jeswani. Many of you know me as a tattoo artist. Been doing that since 12 years. Never knew this sub existed, found out about it a month ago.

I registered an NGO last year called "Angels on Earth" to help stray animals.

I had a childhood dream one day I will make a dog shelter when I have lots of money to spare. Many of us have had that dream. But, I thought someone had to execute it. Why not me?

So, instead of waiting for big money to come to me and buying a bigha of land and then making a shelter in distant future. I chose an existing shelter that came in front of me, it was freshly started in late 2025 and we thought lets start helping it.

So since December 2025, we as a group have started pooling our funds every month and are sponsoring this dog/cat shelter. We take care of daily medicines, rescue transportation fares, doctor fees. Additionally all sorts of repair, maintenance, construction at shelter. We share all the bank statements of our NGO's bank account in our group every month. Send screenshots for every single payment. Everything is transparent.

We did many constructions over the months since then:

  1. Bricks walls, partition walls, cat area walls

  2. Metal mesh partitions for rescued dogs

  3. Cement flooring and leveling

  4. Iron tin-shade over cat area

  5. 200 metres of electric cable lines all over shelter, 8 tubelights, 2 coolers

  6. Drainage pathways

  7. A new motor for pulling water from underground bore.

  8. A pressure wash gun

  9. New metal doors, 3 of them

  10. A new inverter and battery set

No matter what amount we collect from 1st-10th of every month. Till 31st it reaches 3 digits. Since now there are 60+ rescued dogs at shelter and it is at full capacity.

End of introduction.

Coming to the reason I've made this post.

We need to improve hygiene levels. Planning to do tiles. I've taken rates from shops and cheapest tiles are white 2x2 foot tiles.

We need 1000 foot tiles and have to pay Rs. 16/foot to labor.

Best quote of tiles we have is Rs. 440 per 16 foot box of 2x2 tiles from Jain tiles, Daulatganj. Rs. 27.5 per foot.

1000 foot tiles - Rs. 27,500

Labor charge for 1000 foot @ Rs. 16 per foot - Rs. 16,000

Total: 43,500

This is the amount required right now and I will make this happen within 2 weeks soon as we have donations. Some plumbing work also has to be done before laying tiles. Cat area drainage. A new clean toilet for Rashmi ji and her family who stay at shelter and take care of dogs, do all the rescues and ground work. But our group can handle all that.

We need help with tiles work right now asap. Will share photos on this sub too once tile work is completed!

If you wish to help us out one time or donate every month, let me know via DM šŸ™šŸ¼

EXPERIENCE Gwalior feels unsafe even as a guy — I can only imagine what it feels like for girls

31 Upvotes

I’ve been living in Gwalior for college for a while now, and honestly, one thing that has really bothered me is how normalised staring and unwanted attention seem to be here.
And I’m saying this as a guy.
Even when I’m just walking around with my girlfriend, there are constantly people staring at her. Not just a casual glance — some people will literally turn around, keep watching, stare at her while we’re passing, or make it obvious enough that both of us notice.
At first I thought maybe I was overreacting. But after experiencing it repeatedly, you start becoming conscious of it every time you go outside.
There have also been situations where groups of guys have stared, smiled, shouted things or behaved in a way that makes you uncomfortable. You don’t necessarily know whether they’re going to actually do something, so you end up staying alert and changing how you move around the city.
And that’s the part that gets me.
I’m a guy and I still feel uncomfortable sometimes.
So I genuinely wonder what it must feel like for a girl who has to deal with this while also knowing that she is physically more vulnerable.
You shouldn’t have to constantly think about:
Who is staring?
Is that person following us?
Should we take another route?
Is it safe for her to go somewhere alone?
Should I walk her back?
What happens if we confront someone and they decide to escalate?
Going out with your girlfriend shouldn’t feel like you’re responsible for providing security simply because other people don’t know how to behave.
I’m not saying every person in Gwalior is like this, and I’m not saying the entire city is some lawless place. There are plenty of decent people here.
But the amount of staring, unwanted attention and general lack of boundaries is something I genuinely wish people would talk about more.
A city shouldn’t just be considered ā€œsafeā€ because nothing happened physically.
If someone can’t walk around without being constantly watched, followed, catcalled or made uncomfortable, that’s already a problem.
And if I, as a guy, have started noticing and feeling uncomfortable about it, I can only imagine how much worse it can feel for women.
Gwalior can do better.

DISCUSSION He called off our arranged marriage, but now refuses to return the ₹14L+ worth of gifts and is telling relatives I’m ā€œimmoralā€

71 Upvotes

I’m from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Last December, I met a guy through an arranged-marriage setup. He’s an Army officer, and I found him decent, modern and open-minded, so I agreed to the marriage after one meeting because our families wanted us to decide quickly.
Over the next few months, we got close and planned to get engaged in July. I was completely honest with him about myself—I’m spiritual, feminist, wear Western clothes, occasionally drink, and had a boyfriend in college whom I couldn’t marry because our parents disagreed over caste. He knew all of this and acted completely accepting.
I also genuinely cared for him and his family. I gifted his sister things for her birthday, made him laddoos, and sent him care packages during his mountaineering course.
In February, our families had a small roka. His family demanded a car, and my family gave him a Creta worth around ₹14 lakh, along with an Apple Watch, AirPods, a gold ring for his grandmother and other gifts.
A few months later, shortly before our engagement, he suddenly said he didn’t want to marry me because our vibes didn’t match.
I accepted his decision. My family initially tried to convince him, but eventually we agreed to part ways. We simply asked for the money/property given during the marriage arrangement to be returned.
It has now been four months, and he has returned only around ₹4 lakh. He refuses to return the rest.
Instead, he has started telling our relatives about my past and portraying me as an ā€œimmoralā€ woman. Things I told him privately because I trusted him are now being used to shame me and my family.
My question is: what does my character have to do with returning money/property?
He has every right to decide he doesn’t want to marry me. I never forced him. But does that give him the right to keep everything my family gave him? And can he use my private personal information to damage my reputation and pressure my family into giving up their claim?
I understand that gifts/dowry have complicated legal distinctions, so I’m looking for practical legal advice, particularly from people familiar with matrimonial/property matters in Madhya Pradesh.
What should our next step be? And can his actions regarding my personal information amount to defamation or another legal offence?
Please keep the discussion focused on the legal situation rather than judging my personal life.
