TL;DR

• Reddit has no native content filter. Use Ultimate Reddit Filter (free).
• Paste the preset below — covers BJP, Congress, Modi, and common political discourse terms.
• Applies across all subreddits at once; no per-subreddit setup required.
• Doesn’t work in the official Reddit app — use Kiwi Browser (Android) or Orion (iOS).

Why this requires an extension

Reddit provides no native keyword filter. Muting a subreddit removes that subreddit from r/all, but Indian political content appears across dozens of subreddits — r/worldnews, r/news, r/india, r/geopolitics, r/AskReddit, and more. A keyword filter is the only way to block the topic across all of them at once.

The setup

1. Install Ultimate Reddit Filter

Install from Chrome Web Store — also available for Firefox.

2. Paste the keyword preset

Click the extension icon → Keywords tab → paste all of the following:

narendra modi

bharatiya janata
congress party india
rahul gandhi
arvind kejriwal

Click Save.

3. Optionally block high-volume political subreddits

For more complete coverage, open the Subreddits tab and add:

IndiaSpeaks
librandu
unitedstatesofindia
india_place
hinduism

These subreddits generate high volumes of Indian political posts. Adding them prevents their content from appearing in r/all and r/popular regardless of keyword matching.

4. Tune for false positives and reload

modi may catch posts about the Japanese word “modi” or other contexts. If this is a problem, replace it with modi india, pm modi, or narendra modi and remove the single-word entry.

congress will catch US Congress posts. Remove it if you read American political news, or replace with congress india or indian national congress.

What this won’t do

This filter hides posts from your visible feed. It does not block Indian political posts from appearing in Reddit search results, does not work in the official Reddit iOS or Android app, and does not affect notifications from subreddits you follow.

Going further

• Expand for state politics: Indian state-level politics (Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal elections) generates significant r/all traffic. Add the names of sitting Chief Ministers and state-level parties to cover those cycles.
• News Feed Eradicator: For periods of heavy election coverage, News Feed Eradicator removes the Reddit home feed entirely — a blunt but effective option.
• Seasonal updates: Indian elections (Lok Sabha, Vidhan Sabha) create large traffic spikes. During those windows, add the specific election hashtags and candidate names that are flooding r/all.

If it’s not working

• Posts still appearing? Most leaks come from r/worldnews and r/news posts where the Indian topic is in the body, not the title. Add the subreddit to the block list or add more specific title-level terms.
• False positives on ‘congress’? Replace it with indian national congress or congress party india. That’s specific enough to avoid catching US political news.
• Mobile not working? The Reddit mobile app cannot run extensions. Install Kiwi Browser (Android) or Orion (iOS) and add the extension inside either.
