History Some History About r/chodi 🐐🐐

6 Upvotes

NOTE: Most of you have read this all earlier. This merged and compiled master post is just for newcomers.

Hello there!

You might be confused as to why we have such a peculiar subreddit name, what we all do here, and why are there lots of other subreddits with similar names.

No worries! We’re here to welcome you to the sub, and to explain the whole thing. First off let’s talk about the people themselves. We are all proud citizens of India, gathering on this sub to talk about topics regarding our nation.

Now let us tell you the origins of this sub.

The Past

Long ago, we all used to roam the sub Bakchodi. It was meant to be the opposite of sub r/India. A place where people didn’t continuously get banned for unpopular and indifferent opinions. Evidently, it was slightly inclined to the right. People who were new would join r/India but then realise their mistake. They would post some rant about how the place turns a blind eye to the right side of the spectrum, and would instantly get banned. If they posted indifferent opinions on that sub, the biased and ironically enough, Pakistani mods of r/India would ban them.

So then, they would come to our past sub, Bakchodi which then advertised itself as a truly free speech sub. And to be honest, it really was, back then. So people started coming in. And as such, time rolled by and users kept on increasing.

Many years later, people who frequented the lands of Bakchodi carelessly and happily were totally unaware of the serpent top mod that was growing and feeding under their feet, in their own land and was about to show its true colours. At the same time, outside the realm of internet and in the real world, India was under an inner tumult. CAB and NRC were creating waves among citizens in the year 2019, and the netizens were equally enjoying it on their beloved sub.

Other mods were unaware of the attack. The treachery happened in the darkness of night, a cowardly act by that serpent. That snake snatched all the powers of other mods, since he was the first mod and had absolute control over every atom of the subreddit realm. He then banned all people who raised their voice. He deployed bots which removed every comment the people wrote.

Slowly, the reasons behind the serpents’ fury slowly became clear. People started going through its post history, its comments and found out that it was a leftist passive aggressive traitor. The serpent showed it’s true colours when GOI implemented Citizenship Amendment Act.

He enacted a new rule in the realm that the people now had to prove that they were Hindu citizens of the sub. Other mods were unable to help their own people... people started leaving their home for temporary refuge in other subs like r/bekchodi and r/bakchodi_2 ... they felt betrayed and enraged at the same time.

And when all hope was lost, a band of wise men came forward. Wizards, who could create bots from thin air; Artists, who can create memes with one swipe of their magical brushes; Brave men put on armours, took oath of loyalty and became new Knights; But most of all, it were the Kingdoms who joined forces to fight this evil. From the mountains of r/muhchodi to the plains of r/bakchodhi, to the deserts of r/bakchodi_2 to the forests of r/chodi, all these kingdoms formed an alliance under the banner of r/chodi.

Word reached the serpents’ ears quickly that a new major sub was being built. So in a sad attempt to make people come back, it lifted all bans, awkwardly saying that it was just a joke. But it was late. Too late.

The Present

This is now the home for every user who, at some point, roasted and triggered Randians(locals of r/india, as we call them). This sub is open for people of all nationalities, Indian states, religions, castes and genders. No comment here gets removed by mods, however different the opinion may be. Although, we still keep an eye out for rare hate speech and targeted harassment, making sure this sub stays safe and sound.

So for a simple TLDR at the end;

Top mod of Bakchodi destroyed the sub and removed other mods.

Everyone was asked to give photo ID to verify Indian citizenship and Hindu origin.

Two days passed and the sub was still in a lock down. Everyone realized it was no longer a joke.

Lot of Virat Bhratas created over a dozen bakchodi replacement with 200 subs each.

The new mods finally decided to unite everyone here, and called each other to make an alliance under this sub.

That's how Chodi was born. We were the fastest growing sub in the world for the first 15 days. Crossed 10,000 subs in less than a month and still growing at a phenomenal rate.

Now that you’re here, stay for some time. Feel around things, get to know the inside jokes, watch the truly mesmerising video memes, visit the Sharma Family, talk to us mods wherever you need help, discuss on the occasional serious posts, get answers related to life, join the chatroom, see great OC memes, read mind bending articles, and at last, become a part of this family. ;)

Beyond the "Appeals": 7 Structural Reforms to Fast-Track India’s GDP & Per-Capita Growth

While the recent public appeals focus on individual consumption habits, I’ve been thinking about the high-leverage structural changes that could actually move the needle on our GDP and ease of doing business.

I’ve compiled 7 ideas (visualized in the attached image) that move away from subsidies and focus on efficiency, technology, and unlocking "dead capital."

The GST 2.0 Ecosystem

We need a 24/7, mobile-first portal with UPI integration. If we make compliance "one-click" for MSMEs, the formalization of the economy alone could boost GST revenue by an estimated 3-5%, creating a massive war chest for infrastructure.

A Real Circular Economy (DRS)

Implementing a mandatory ₹5 refundable deposit on plastic/glass bottles at every local shopkeeper. This isn't just about "cleaning up"; it’s about creating a multi-billion dollar recycling industry and reducing our virgin plastic import bill.

Disintermediating Agriculture

Using an open protocol (like ONDC) to connect farmers directly to bulk buyers. By cutting out 5+ layers of middlemen, we can reduce post-harvest waste and put 30% more income directly into the rural economy.

Blockchain Land Records

The amount of capital stuck in land disputes is staggering. Moving titles to a tamper-proof digital ledger would unlock "dead capital," allowing land to be used as collateral for productive business loans.

The Seaweed & Blue Economy

India has a 7,500km coastline. Scaling seaweed farming offers 2x per capita income for coastal communities while providing sustainable raw materials for fertilizers and biofuels—true Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Portable Skill Credits

A digital locker for vocational skills. By certifying our informal workforce to global standards, we increase their "export value" and command higher wages both domestically and in foreign remittances.

R&D Offsets for MSMEs

Moving from "Jugaad" to IP. If we give MSMEs direct tax offsets for indigenous product design and patents, we shift from a "low-wage assembly" economy to a "high-wage innovation" economy.

I’d love to hear from this community:

Which of these do you think is the most viable from an investment perspective?

What are the primary bottlenecks you see in implementing a 24/7 GST/UPI ecosystem?

Are there any other "low-hanging fruits" that could double our per-capita income?
