This is 2022, not 1945.

It is reprehensible that any country can attack another sovereign country in this date and time and the world watches.

UN has always been a useless organization. It has lost all its relevance.
That is why there have been so many conflicts across the world. UN is not a democratic organization, some countries are more equal than others. They have special powers called the 'Veto' powers. They can veto any resolution that they don't like.
Therefore the resolution remains on paper only and the problem remains unresolved.

It is sad that India chose to abstain from the voting on UN resolution asking Russia not to attack Ukraine.

Keeping silent or abstaining is going with the oppressor.
What ever may be the reason for the breakout of hostilities, it is a shame that countries are behaving like mad dogs trying to tear each others throats. Putin is, by no stretch of imagination, a democratic leader.
He has converted Russia into an elected dictatorship, much like what Modi would want to do in India.

With Ukraine joining North Atlantic Treaty Organization nations, Russia felt a threat to its borders as that would bring US troops to its border.
That was not acceptable to Russia. What is the reason of fear of US troops? That question can be answered by Putin himself. It seems that Russians Khatre Mein Hain.

One of these days Dhruv will explain to Indians why it is important for India to join NATO too.
Then we can have more qualified discussion on social media about NATO or Not to NATO.

Till then, you should be more worried about 7th of March, when petrol/diesel/gas prices held back due to elections will start to march ahead.
As for Indian government not evacuating Indians in time, what is the surprise there? This government kept airports open till 23rd March 2020 allowing Corona to come right in.
India is run by one person, he wakes up from time to time, when he gets time from addressing election rallies....

But the Government should realize that what it has allowed to happen today by remaining silent can boomerang on it in the near future....

In 2020, 8,69,010 appeared for IIT JEE exam. Out of this top 2,50,000 are allowed to appear in IIT JEE Main Exam.
Total Number of B.Tech seats across all IIT's put together is 9737!!!

That means out of 2,50,000 people who give IIT JEE Main exam, only 9737 people get to join the course. Just 4% students get into IIT.

Does that mean that the other 96% were failures?
Of course not, they were not as good as those who got to the top of the merit list.

Our BJP leader is telling that those who failed NEET, have gone abroad. He, perhaps, has never appeared for a competitive exam in his 'entire' life.

Dear Jyotirditya Scindia and Piyush Goyal Sir.
It was really very nice of you to address the students who have come back from Ukraine and all Indians appreciate your governments effort, Operation Ganga, to bring rest of the students stranded there back to the country.
The dispatch of four senior ministers to various borders of Ukraine is highly appreciated too.

I note with pleasure that PM Modi has now become aware of the problem of Indian students going abroad to do MBBS course.

GLANCE AT THIS TAKE:
Personally, Im not the wiser...
Greater Russia is now a full-spectrum commodity superpower, less vulnerable to sanctions than Europe itself.
The West’s pain threshold is about to be tested – Fortress Russia will endure this contest of self-reliance more stoically than Europe

In a matter of hours, the world order has turned drastically less favourable for the western democracies.

In August 1990, under the leadership of then PM, VP Singh India executed the biggest peacetime evacuation of Indians from Kuwait....

1990 Kuwait Airlift
In 1990, when 1,00,000 Iraqi soldiers armed with 700 tanks marched into Kuwait, the royals and VIPs had fled to Saudi Arabia. The general public was left behind to fend for themselves. Over 1,70,000 of those stranded in Kuwait were Indians.
On August 13, 1990, 12 days after the invasion took place, India kicked off the evacuation process after diplomatic negotiations. Air India flights brought the first batch of Indians home.

There was once a chairman of Medical Council of India, Mr. Ketan Desai, from Apro Gujarat.

He was caught in a medical college sanction scam. CBI arrested him for allowing a private college to give admissions to an MBBS course.
After Modi returned to power, Ketan Desai returned to MCI.

It takes close to 5 Crores to produce an MBBS doctor in India. And it is a long course. After spending such a huge amount of money, people expect doctors to be benevolent and treat patients for almost free.
News from Ukraine indicates that there are 20,000 students studying medicine there. Typical cost of the course is around 6000 US Dollars per year. Add another 6000 as living expenses. That makes it 12000 US Dollars, which translates to 9,00,000 per year.

20,000 students have been left high and dry in Ukraine. Government of India, read that as Modi Sarkar, has failed them.
These students were in Ukraine because they wanted to become doctors and could not afford the corrupt system in India which wanted 3 to 5 Crores as fees. They went to Ukraine.

The Government of India, also known as Modi Sarkar, failed to advise them in time.
That is because Government of India, read that as Modi Sarkar, was busy doing election rallies in UP.

There is a clutch of Gujarati Students too who are stuck there. They were told to go to Poland border and they walked.
