The challenges for Indian students pursuing medical degrees in war-torn Ukraine show no signs of abating, as they grapple with increasing hostility from sections of the local population, who perceive India as supporting Russia in the ongoing conflict. The situation has escalated since Ukraine initiated its recent offensive operations in June.

It’s sad that innocent students are being targeted, but let’s not forget that India is the major trade partner for Russia, enabling them to bypass sanctions and continue their war.
Kind of missing the point. The current embargo means Russia sells its oil for a lot cheaper to India, which then refines and resells it to the west. This allows for enough oil supply to not push prices too high for everyone and Russia is the only one losing. Sure India doesn’t enforce sanctions, but they aren’t exactly cozying up like the Chinese.
Justifying Ukraine’s xenophobia and racism ehhhhh?
Modi effect
Classic xenophobia.
No, Indias favorite trade partner is Russia… Thats the problem. They have been there for years without problems this problem started recently…
Why should young students be held accountable for their governments actions?
Did i say that?
Well you said that the problem lays with India’s trade relations with Russia, and this is a thread about Indian students facing discrimination in Ukraine.
Were you not justifying this discrimination based on India’s trade relationship?

That’s, certainly a take.
🤷♂️ I get it. Maybe those individuals are being unfairly targeted but the country as a whole continues to be happy to continue to buy cheap gas and show no signs of being a viable ally to the West.
You do know that the west is buying the cheap fuel back from India? Yes, all the so-called “allies”…
