'Leave our country': Indian students living in constant fear in Ukraine amid hostility
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 challe...
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.
As awful as your attempt is at justifying racism, Indians were being discriminated against during the initial evacuation right when the war began and allegiances had not been solidified.
Our world is in a sad state if neutrality is considered a negative.
You are in a sad state when you think whatever Russia is doing deserves neutral partnerships.
That's the thing, though. Neutrality doesn't ask if neutrality is deserved.
Your mom is in a sad state if she allowed you to think true neutrality can exist through actions, like trading with Russia. Only inaction is allowed to deserve a monicker like neutrality, but that doesn't make one free of judgement from those who have suffered under the apathy of neutrality.
Justifying Ukraine's xenophobia and racism ehhhhh?
Exactly. If those students want to stop being targeted, they should stop their government instead of blaming Ukraine for the violence. In a sense, they are the real perpetrators and Ukrainian "racism" is nothing more than self-defense.

How many governments did you stop, cowboy?
Those students can't change their government. I don't blame Ukrainians for being upset at India as a country for having Russia as a trade partner, I do for taking it out on these students. If I were to assault a Russian student here in America because of what the Russian government is doing it'd be equally as wrong.
Yes a bunch of students are the real perpetrators. They definitely hold all the power to stop their government while they are thousands of kilometers from home.
