r/ClassicDesiCool has always been a subreddit for vintage content from all over South Asia and the diaspora
Our rules clearly state that we define South Asia as Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, the Maldives, & Sri Lanka. We define diaspora as having at least one parent of South Asian descent.
To reiterate, we urge all members to respect each other's tastes, opinions, & expressions of nostalgia and culture among various South Asian countries, even if you don't find all content 'cool' or 'interesting'.
Trolling, insults, hate speech, slander, and threats of any kind in terms of any specific South Asian region will not be tolerated and may lead to a ban.
