Community Rules

Azad reads is rooted in tehzeeb. We value respectful words, actions, and attitudes. Our community brings together readers from diverse backgrounds and age groups - There's so much we can learn from one another, and it begins with mutual respect.

Azad Reads gatherings are spaces for quiet reflection and focus. If you need to talk, please do so quietly and considerately. And if someone is disturbing your peace, feel free to politely let them know.

Always ask before clicking pictures that include others. Similarly, If you wish to share space, mats, or belongings, Please ask for permission first.

Azad Reads is an inclusive and safe space for all readers, regardless of identity. We maintain zero tolerance for inappropriate behaviour whether it is physical, verbal, mental, or sexual within the gathering or under its name.

Polite and thoughtful discussions are always welcome, especially at the start and end of our sessions. If conversations arise during the gathering, let's help each other gently refocus on the shared experience.
