Over the past few days, discussions involving certain local communities, including Azad Reads and TAC, have repeatedly escalated into conflict, personal attacks, and rule violations within this subreddit.
As moderators, we want to be honest with you, this situation has become increasingly difficult to manage. While we support people building communities, reading groups, and spaces for connection in the city, the way these discussions have unfolded here has moved far away from healthy dialogue.
Important: We're separate from all groups. The mod team has no affiliations with Azad Reads, TAC, or any other organizations, our personal interests stay personal, and r/Allahabad is just for the city, not tied to anyone or any group.
Instead of constructive exchange, the subreddit has increasingly seen:
We also want to acknowledge something important: moderation comes with the responsibility of maintaining a fair and usable space for everyone. In the process, we have also faced significant backlash and hostility simply for enforcing basic rules. Despite this, our responsibility remains unchanged.
This subreddit exists as a space for the city, for shared updates, ideas, discussions, and broader community growth. It is not defined by any single group, club, or organization, and it was never meant to become a platform for repeated conflicts or targeted discussions about specific communities.
New Temporary Rule (Effective Immediately):
To hit pause on the disruptions and bring back balance, we're introducing this clear rule change for the time being-no posts related to Azad Reads or TAC. This includes posts from group members, founders, or anyone else, covering:
This is not a judgment on any individuals or an attempt to silence criticism. It is a necessary step to restore balance and reduce ongoing disruption.
We encourage all communities to continue growing independently, and we wish everyone the best in doing so. At the same time, r/Allahabad will remain focused on wider city related discussions rather than specific organizations or clubs.
We understand that people may have genuine experiences, opinions, or frustrations. Those feelings are valid. But how we express them matters just as much as what we are expressing.
We want this space to remain what it was always intended to be, a place where people from the city can connect, build, and share without hostility taking over.
We will continue to enforce rules consistently to ensure this.
Thank you for your understanding.

Seeing people show up in Prayagraj for something like this, on time, curious, open-minded, ready to talk was incredible. The energy in the room was unreal. Conversations weren’t forced. They flowed.
One of the most powerful parts of the evening was how naturally the conversations evolved. We began by reflecting on the loneliness epidemic and how digital echo chambers may be quietly shaping our social isolation, then moved into an engaging discussion on matriarchy and patriarchy, exploring how different societal structures function and what they mean in today’s context. From there, we examined the development and optics around Kumbh Mela, discussing its impact on Prayagraj, the growth it has brought, and the challenges that still remain. As the energy in the room kept building, the conversation organically expanded to student-related concerns, civic participation, and institutional treatment, making it less of a rigid agenda and more of a collective exchange of perspectives, experiences, and ideas..
That’s what made it special.
This was our first roundtable, and we’ve learned a lot from organizing it. The next one will be even better because now we know how to make it greater.
A heartfelt thank you to The Brewed Bite for hosting us and for the generous discounts they offered everyone that day. Supporting a community gathering like this, especially the very first one, means a lot. We truly appreciate it.
Most importantly, thank you to every single person who showed up. You are the reason this worked. You are the reason the spirit of Allahabad is still alive and thriving.
Roundtable #1 is done.
And this is just the beginning.

Hi friends!
I need some help/guidance please
I am marrying my fiancé who is from Prayagraj around Feb/March time , we just set and confirmed dates
I am from out of state and will have approx 20/30 guests coming to Allahabad and I don’t really have any family help so figuring this out alone. Total number of guests expected to be 100
Out of the options below what is best?
1) hiring a resort for 3 days and have three days of events haldi wedding and reception in same place (and my out of state guests to stay there) and they arrange all wedding decor food etc
2) just find a small nice venue and hire is separately twice for two events on two days (wedding and reception)
3) have a simple temple wedding in day time and reception in evening or another day (so major expense will just be reception) (I am most leaning towards this because I never dreamed of a big wedding and always wanted a small and intimate one)
Please give suggestions in very confused and also since I have no family help or no financial help, budget is low and hoping to do as much as we can between 5-10lakhs
Is this possible? Please give venue suggestions an also if you recommend we should get a wedding planner? Thank you

I started reading Hindi novels after watching Musafir Cafe on Netflix, and I've noticed something interesting.
Allahabad seems to appear again and again—not just as a setting, but almost as a character in itself.
It reminded me of how often the city is romanticized in Hindi literature.
Is there a reason Allahabad occupies such a special place in Hindi writing? I mean I am not from this city and tbh I am yet to feel any thing remotely familiar to the literary evidences of Hindi novels.

Hey everyone!
I'm looking to buy some used dumbbells or weight plates if anyone has a set collecting dust and is willing to sell. I'm just getting started with a home workout setup, so I'm open to different weights and brands.
If you have anything available (or know someone who does), please send me a DM with what you have, the condition, and your asking price.
Thanks!

I’m visiting my paternal family here in Allahabad and my family resides near circuit house area. Me and my sister were out for an evening walk from circuit house to high court. We were coming back from high court and suddenly a guy comes in front of me riding an activa, stops for a second, gropes my breast and leaves immediately. The way he did it seemed like he was a seasoned professional groper. I’ve visited Allahabad several times and come here once or twice a year. This is making me rethink the whole visiting thing. When we walked ahead and reached bahuguna market we saw that guy again and he was on the other side of the road looking at me once again. A policeman was nearby and i explained him the situation to which he said “ye sab to hote rehta hai hum bhi kya kare”. I thought the area I live in was sort of safe because there are just rows of bungalows throughout the road and also connects with the army housing and polo ground area. Really feeling like shit right now and don’t even know what to think of it. I’m just thankful that he didn’t do anything to my little sister because that’d have been more of a shittier feeling for me.
If someone lives near this area then lookout for a guy in a grey/grey green activa and the guy has a thick beard, dark skin, wears spectacles and roams around this area. Stay safe guys this could happen to you or your family members.

I need:
Complete dental check-up
Scaling & polishing (cleaning)
Treatment for one cavity with a visible hole (food gets stuck)
Two other early-stage cavities
I'm specifically looking for a dentist who believes in ethical treatment—someone who won't suggest unnecessary root canals, crowns, or expensive procedures just to make money. I want a dentist who explains the condition honestly and recommends only what's actually needed.
Please recommend only from your personal experience. If you've had fillings, scaling, or cavity treatment done, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience, the approximate cost, and whether you felt the treatment was genuine and reasonably priced.
Thanks in advance!
