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.

            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.

        Indians faced racism at Poland last year, when people were fleeing from Ukraine. It might just be the case that Anglo racism is the problem…

            Collective term for white English countries. Anglo-Saxons has been a term used since centuries, and after two world wars, Anglosphere is the word used.

                Vassal states to original English colonial powers, the 8 Nation Alliance? Absolutely. This is why they are part of Anglosphere. Any country that is, or has been during/since Renaissance, a western/English colonial power, or is their vassal state (Israel, Japan, Turkey also count), are part of Anglosphere. Geographical location can be separate from social/economical hegemonic ideals.

                Edit: the nuance is influence and subjugator control by original white colonial powers.

                  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.

                    Not the only meaning anymore. That meaning changed long ago, since the creation of NATO and how it operates to subjugate any and all countries for a unipolar hegemonic iron fist rule of white man. Proxy colonisation has been the major shifter.

          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
