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.

    Things are not black and white but they do not have infinite shades of gray either. Overthinking, overcomplicating, pseudo-intellectual hipster takes are just BAD. “racism is everywhere” is like a both sides trope, and I find it to be a method to suppress all discourse, rather than it ever, in history of debates, have ended up generating meaningful discussion and critique.

      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).

        This racism happened conveniently (actually it is institutionalised and systematic) against Indians, blacks and Muslims, all groups that European anti-immigrant whites hate. Therefore, it is correctly labelled as Anglo racism. Those “pure” whites do not want the “dirty” browns/blacks around, apparently. This is the basis of what I said, which is very clear to anyone oppressed and concerned.

          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.

                The leftist socialist discourse has not, even once, pointed this out to me, who are the first to see the wrongs in anti-imperialist narratives. I am unsure who these people are, because you are the first and only one to say this.

                  Might just be a European pet peeve 🤷

                  Any good leftist socialist comms you’ve found on Lemmy? I’m just following anarchism @hexbear.net and whatever floats my way on All from hexbear and lemmygrad
