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.

    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.

                  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.

                    Ukraine is not part of NATO, however it absolutely is a condom that NATO is using to try and fuck with Russia since almost a decade. There is a backstory that goes all the way back to 60s, but the breakage of Warsaw Pact demonstrated what US VP Dick Cheney once said – to balkanise and break Russia apart. This has been NATO’s goal since it was formulated, and what we are seeing is the last straws being grasped at. This is why Biden is asking GOP for $60B more, after the $40B already pumped by USA into Ukraine.

                    Anglo whites are by far the most racist people to have existed on this planet in the entirety of human history, and no other group or faction has been even remotely in the ballpark. Whites have subjugated for the past centuries blacks, Asians, Muslims, whoever has been determined as “non-pure” at various points of time and so on. The only close parallel (perhaps worse) I can think of, in terms of oppression, in all of human existence, has been the treatment of lower castes or Shudras in India since many millenia, that continues to this day.

      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
