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.

    Knowing that OP is skewing the narrative by flooding the space with articles supporting one narrative is important and cannot be ignored.

    Some contexts go further than the immediate article and no one is asking anyone to ignore what’s written in the article. Rather, what is asked is to be aware that many articles today were posted to support a certain narrative.

    Some people today might end their day thinking ‘boy, Ukraine has been doing a lot of bad things lately’, when the bad things were specifically cherry-picked for their feed.

    Indian people and their plight are being used for OP’s own agenda and pointing this out does not discredit anything that might be happening to them, nor does it mean that it’s not important, as was being suggested.

      Usually what we do is post counter articles, or articles that widen the picture see everybody sees the whole. Not attack the character of the person.

      So why don’t you inform us by using similar articles, that way we can judge on our own if OPs words are noteworthy or trash.

        That’s not at all “what we usually do”. Most people don’t have time to cherry pick articles and post them to “widen the picture”, nor should they.

        Context is important and so is being aware of bad actors trying to alter public perception.

        You’re trying to skew this into something that’s wrong, but it’s not.
