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 challenges they face amid a complex geopolitical landscape and a nation gripped by conflict.

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.

    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.

        All that geopolitics doesn’t make the people Anglo though.

        Why the fuck are conflating damage done to being most racist. Whites may or may not be the most racist as a whole but because they’ve had a lot of global power the last 400 years we can see the impact of it more than any other group.

        I really don’t care who is most racist on averagee because I have an understanding that racism is everywhere in the world and should be fought against everywhere.

        Again you are showing you have a really simplified black and white view of the world.

            Again my original point was that Ukrainian racism towards Indian students in the country during the current war with Russia should not be reduced down to Anglo racism. This reduction is neither in your words, generating meaningful conversation or is a meaningful critique of the problem and IMO is wrong(though this is more a disagreement over words and I think we mostly agree).

                Again we agree but for teminology. Anglo racism is a term I can’t find online and again IMO should only be used on England and its colonies.

                Take France for example should it and its colonies not use the term Franco racism.

                Just say white racists or European racists or bigots as well works.

                    Again my point is Anglo is not the right word, go with European racism or then if you don’t want to call out skin colour.

                    Any mention I find of Angloshere online doesn’t include Europe and some mentions are even calling out the difference between anglosphere and Europe.

                    I’m not the only one who was confused by your use of the word in this context.
