The opinions expressed by members are their own and do not reflect the views of the Group Admin (including the Founder). Group Admins are not responsible for the accuracy of shared content or any consequences arising from it.

Purpose

BILD social media platforms are dedicated exclusively to those of British Indian heritage, or those married to someone who is, now living in the UAE. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before applying for membership.

​

We are a space for those of Indian origin who were born or raised in the UK, and who are of both British and Indian culture. BILD aims to foster networking in a respectful and secure environment. BILD is specifically centred around the shared cultural identity and lived experience of being British Indian and does not discriminate on the basis of religion or faith. We appreciate the diversity within the broader South Asian community and recognise that there are many wonderful groups in UAE that reflect other backgrounds. BILD exists solely to provide a space for the unique British Indian voice and experience to thrive abroad

 

You are encouraged to welcome other British Indians into this social network by inviting friends, as each new member enhances the overall value and sharing of experiences within our community.

 

To ensure a seamless integration and avoid any misunderstandings, please ensure you familiarise yourself with BILD’s principles and rules. Upon joining, an essential prerequisite is for all members to introduce themselves. Please share a brief introduction to the group to facilitate easier connections and interactions. Any anonymous joiners who do not provide their identity will be removed.

Group Rules

1. Be Kind, Courteous & Inclusive

 

  • Words build trust and friendships, so use them kindly and be respectful.
     

  • Light-hearted humour is welcome but must not target or offend specific individuals or groups or cause distress to others.
     

  • Opinions may vary, so be considerate in your communications and avoid false accusations. Please think carefully before posting any comment or response.

2. Act Responsibly

​

  • You MUST always comply with all UAE Laws and social media regulations.

​

  • We strictly enforce a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of communication which targets any race, religion, nationality, or individual, or contains any aggressive behaviour, bullying, hate speech, profanity, other discriminatory remarks, or offensive adult content, including humour which can be construed as offensive.

​

  • Posts of a political nature are also not allowed.

​

  • Please also refrain from using foul language.

​

  • Please do not post articles from unverified sources or share content that causes unnecessary panic, especially anything which is highly likely to be ‘fake news.’

​

  • All of the above includes any content in any format, such as messages, images, videos, or links.

​

Our administrators reserve the right to delete any content deemed inappropriate or contrary to the group’s principles and ethos, potentially causing undue friction among members.

​

Please be aware that violations of these rules and principles may result in the removal of members from the group without prior notice. We are committed to upholding the laws of the UAE and fostering a positive and respectful community.

3. Privacy

  • Being a part of this group requires mutual trust.

​

  • Confidential, and personal information may be shared by our members which may be sensitive.

​

  • Authentic, expressive discussions and healthy debates make groups interactive and informative but may be sensitive and private.

​

  • What’s shared in the group should stay in the group and never shared with anyone outside the groups and not circulated.

4. Marketing

  • No spamming, advertising, or promotions affiliated to anyone within or outside the group are allowed without prior admin approval, and any such posts may be deleted.

​

  • BILD is keen to support member businesses and allow your businesses to promote themselves, provided there is a BILD discount or other benefit offered to our BILD members (which will be a condition for approval).

​

To prevent our groups from being clogged with advertising posts, we have a dedicated Business Collective and LinkedIn Group. Alternatively, you can join “BILD Business Mondays” on Instagram, please contact admin for more info.

5. Keep It Relevant

  • Use dedicated groups for business, events, sports, or selling personal items.

​

  • Irrelevant posts may be deleted, and repeat offenders removed.

Final Message

At BILD, we are more than just a community—we are a family built on trust, kindness, and shared experiences. Let’s continue to grow stronger together, celebrating our culture and supporting one another as we navigate life in UAE.

 

Be kind and supportive, act responsibly, keep it light, and remember, we’re all in the same boat looking to make like-minded friends!

 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding and for being part of this incredible journey!
