articles will and won't be allowed on SRH under the reorganization
proposal.

If I submitted an article about "Ultras causing the Surat plague",
articles dealing with elections in India, or articles about political
maneuvering between Indian and Pakistan, would those be permitted?
Note that the first article on the list actually appeared on alt.hindu,
and soc.religion.hindu has the same policies.

That first clause makes it sound like you haven't read the RFD, and if
that is the case, then perhaps you should, since all of this could be
cleared up. It can be found at

On the contrary - it has been claimed that SRH is balanced politically
because both pro- and anti- articles have been allowed, and this
proves that your assertion is incorrect. The reorg would send all of
these articles that deal (only) with politics elsewhere.
