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.

    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.

      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.
