FYI: OP is a tankie who just spams any news he can find to discourage people from supporting Ukraine in the war.
Thank you for the context. Fuck tankies.
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.
There's no "perceive". India IS supporting Russia and its dictatorial actions. And Modi doesn't care at all about Indians in Ukraine or anywhere abroad and is doing nothing to help them leave a warzone.
Also, hi tankie trash OP!
I assumed this before I even opened this shit. It's funny how it's the same small group just spamming group of blatant pro China/Russia crap. Saw one the other day that every post or comment was pro Russia or calling anyone anti Russia/pro NATO a Nazi.
The real victims of Russian invasion are the Indian students.
I knew the Ukrainians were evil.
Indian military has much to lose because of buying weapons from Russia for decades. It’s going to be hard for India to cut relationship with Russia too soon.
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?
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...
Anglo?
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.
You think Poland or Ukraine are English?
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.
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

It was actually racism proudly declared chest thumping-ly by Anglo racists on international media. You cannot negotiate with this. The only way is to isolate Anglosphere from rest of the world, like a diseased leper, and let them bask in their "pure white" glory, while rest of the world lives under a BRICS+ hegemony.
