🇮🇳 What Indians think about the Russo-Ukrainian War?

India is the most populated country in the world and therefore it matters a lot what does this county stand for in regards to the global event on our planet. In terms of Russo-Ukrainian War India stay somehow neutral. So, in this video I am examining what regular Indians think about Ukraine, Russia and the world in general.

Historically Ukraine was against India, helped Pakistan, condemned India in every event. When India asked Ukraine not to arm Pakistan they didn't listen. But Russia always there. So majority of Indians take Russian side.

We Never forgot that ukrain army made fun of Kali Mata 😡😡,

Listen to the foreign minister of India Dr. S Jaishankar for knowing India's stance on the war. He even had a conversation in Bratislava. So if any Ukrainian who wants to know about India's stand watch him. That is the official position and it is the most popular opinion everyone has here. He even gave an interview to an Austrian radio channel so go watch that too.

I am from Poland. I have been in India a few times, and one interesting thing I noticed when talking with people is that most people didn't really know the basic geography of Central Europe. Several people simply thought that I'm from the UK because they just assume that people with white skin are from the UK since India was colonized by the British empire.

Even several educated people with advanced degrees mentioned that they assumed that people in Poland primarily speak English. In India, many people speak English in business settings and at large corporations, but they speak one of dozens of regional languages with their families and around their towns. Many educated people might speak a regional language, such as Tamil or Gujarati, Hindi and also English. I think some of these people assume that English is a similarly dominant language in Poland and that Polish might be a language spoken in villages or only in homes. It was interesting to hear this. I understand why some people might assume this, but those people simply don't know much about Europe. Obviously Poland was never a British colony, it's very far from India, and it makes sense that people in India don't know much about Poland or Austria or Finland, etc.

The Soviet Union traded extensively with India, and it became a major supplier of weapons systems for India. After the Soviet Union dissolved, India continued to procure weapons systems from Russia, and their military is now highly dependent on weapons systems of Russian origin.

There are weapons manufacturers in India that continue to produce weapons systems together with companies in Russia. Read, for example about the BrahMos missile project, which is a joint Indian and Russia project to produce cruise missiles. To-date, I have not read about these being used by the Russian VKS, but Russia has expressed some interest in potentially procuring various BrahMos missiles in the future, and these could be used to bomb Ukraine. Hopefully India will not sell these to Russia and hopefully the EU, the USA and Canada would threaten India with heavy sanctions if India were to start supplying missiles to Russia.

Otherwise, India continues to import oil from Russia, and I read recently that Russia is planning to export coal via rail and ship through Iran to ultimately supply India.

I find it disappointing that a country that was occupied and colonized for hundreds of years is openly cooperating both economically and militarily with imperialist Russia, but that's the reality. I've read some articles in some Indian English-language media publications about Ukraine, and they are ABSOLUTELY FULL of Russian propaganda.

The Wall Street Journal ran an interesting article a few months ago about job recruiters in India who collaborate with the Russian military to offer poor people in India laborer jobs in Russia, but when the people get to Russia, they are forcibly conscripted into the Russian military and sent to Ukraine. The WSJ article mentioned some specific YouTube channels used in these recruiting efforts, and I found the YouTube channels and watched some videos in which they offer people in India high wages to go work "in industry" in Russia. People may or may not know that Russia is running similar recruiting efforts in Sri Lanka, in Nepal, in Cuba, in Venezuela, in Colombia, and in various countries in Africa to offer people high paying jobs in Russia but then forcibly conscript them into the Russian army and send them on meat-wave assaults to Ukraine.

I have two points of improvement for future videos:
1. India isn't the second most populous country, it is actually No. 1 since (I think) 2023.
2. When you try to get more honest answers out of people, don't wear a T-shirt with the trident or tell them immediately that you are from Ukraine, because they will just talk pro-Ukraine to not offend you ;)

As an Indian, Here is a straight face answer:

1) None of of us support war. Even when some are pro Ukraine or Pro Russia.

2) Yes, we trust Russia a lot. Why? On multiple occasions in our history before and after independence Russia has proven a trustworthy partner from wars to economy to UN and more. More in comparison to Ukraine and West.

3) I believe Ukraine could have avoided this war if you guys had probably given strong statements on your independent decision. You could have taken the stance of Switzerland 🇨🇭 ans be very vocal on the issues of Russia and EU.

3) Every country looks at its interests, Moral values are prioritised only when our National Interests are not hurt.
Take the example of Myanmar (A state unfortunately going through a long Civil war). We can send our military at the cost of our soldiers and probably bring the end of this war by defeating the Junta and letting people bring back their own government. Why dont we do that? Bcuz its not in our interests to cause harm to our people and get into drama of Military crime and UNSC drama as we are more focused on our economy and well being of our people.

4) You guys complain about oil and weapons and what not. Did your country take a moral stance when Serbia was invaded by your allies who provide you weapons? Did your countries condemn the action of US when they attacked Iraq or Algeria on reason of WMD weapons or oil? How come you guys are buying so much oil from us when we dont even produce the amount of Oil you guys are buying in a month? When you in-fact know its Russian oil.

Point being: Dont complain about Moral stance or anything when you guys yourself are keeping your interest above and putting a fake face or morality.

Get out of the mindset that when bad things happen to you, world should stand against you.

Ukraine has not been a trustworthy partner after the desolation of USSR, And you the West have not shown your moral values when things happened in Iraq, Algeria, Sudan, Myanmar, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Somalia, Congo and many more.

Good job in raising awareness about Ukraine in India, one of the most ancient countries with very diverse society.❤🇺🇦

[jerrykorolchuk]

[krishnamohan]

Fact is whenever we need support from Europe then not a single country stand with us and now they expect us to we stand with them really

[mdymdy]

India, as the biggest democracy in the world, should definitely do more to push Russia towards respecting international law. It's actual position is too strongly conditioned by economic interests.

[gukesh_forever]

As an Indian teeneger i support 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺...we will never forget the help of russia in 1971....and betral nature of ukrain for helping pakisthan ....condemed india everytime, ,,at the UN ....ukrain supported ..pakisthan at the kasmir issue ... which is actually pat of india captured forfully by ...Pakisthan ...

[gbarhip]

should have shown them a map of India with 25% of the riches parts of India shown as being taken by Pakistan and asked if that is ok for other countries to support Pakistan as they support ruzzia

[bulatkhaertdinov]

Russia was the biggest supporter of India during the worst time in India. During the bombing of Indian cities. Russia helped India a lot.

[trueknowledge]

Suggest you :
1) India : largest population country.
2) Kashmir is internal part of India.

Suggest to Government of Ukraine:
1) Respect India, Indian cultural.
2) Don't support Pakistan..


I think you understood 😂
