Living conditions have become challenging, with students often feeling ostracized and encountering difficulties in daily life. Their plea for transfer to other universities in different countries remains unfulfilled while they live in constant fear. Their situation highlights the multifaceted challenges they face amid a complex geopolitical landscape and a nation gripped by conflict.

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.

      Why should young students be held accountable for their governments actions?

          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?

          Yes… when you excuse xenophobia your validate it. So implicitly you said: That’s okay, they deserve it.

          He did only conclude that they should be held accountable for their government’s decisions, because that’s the least insane justification for that bullshit.

                I think you are conflating different ideas here.

                Anglosphere is countries that have a majority of native English speakers due to cultural connection to England.

                    I’m anti NATO, I understand how it works.

                    My original gripe is with your use of Anglo, Ukraine is not part of NATO, had much more influence and history with Russia than the US/UK, speaks Ukrainian and are ethnically Ukrainian.

                    You don’t have to be Anglo to be racist. Europe, EU and NATO are all more complex that just saying anglosphere and it makes you look silly to reduce it down to white man bad.

        They were rejected at the border because they did not have their paper work in order.,.

        Why did not dear leader Modi reach to the Polish government to negotiate for his students? That’s how it supposed to be done.

        Instead we got fake news crying racism lol
