Dr. Shashi Tharoor’s responses on the Ukraine war in the Raisina Dialogue discussion on Europe

[@rajneeshchatta1657]

Dr. Jaishankar is being diplomatic. Although back on his mind he knws what Russia is doing in Ukarine is wrong. I think india should be happy and lucky to have wise and diplomatic leaders. Yes truth is important but for india to stand in such position needs to diplomatic like Dr. Jaishanker.

I am Indian, was studying Masters degree in SPbPU Russia. I can say that even my Russian friends never wanted this war. I feel very bad for how they are suffering in Russia. My Russian friends told me to go back to India. I dropped my Masters and came back to India, I went through severe trauma and so are my Russian friends. All I can say is nobody is strong, it just takes minutes to kill someone. After seeing the war what I truly want is peace in this world. Please.

Shashi Tharoor is that one person who can put across his views so very eruditely without ruffling any feathers, who can smoothly and very efficiently convince people to look at his points of view, who has an in-depth understanding of the world politics but also the need for realpolitik, hold firm to his patriotic principles and overall, someone who does not demean or let down or put down his colleagues from the ruling party while making his stand. To think that such a person is being led by a man of the knowledge, mental capacity and intelligence of a 5 year old is an insult to all his achievements till date! Hope Mr.Tharoor understands this sooner than later because otherwise it is a great loss to this country.

@Aditya Phogat Tharoor, Rahul who had to run away from UP and other local Congress leaders need to hit the streets pan India wide on issues BJP has failed miserably. More than 100 million people moved from middle class to below poverty line in the Last 8 years, yet you hardly find any protest from any opposition party. If BJP would've been in Congress's place it would have painted the country in red only in this one issue. Aimlessly strolling on the streets by a person the nation has rejected won't help Congress to come back from oblivion. No wonder, Congress's partners are slowly distancing themselves from Congress.

The double-standards claim is very weak. The reason other countries didnt come to the aid of India when they had clashes with China is because India has chosen to have no military alliances. No one helps them, and they help no one. Europe, North America and Asia ex-China are quite different because they were belligerents in WW2 which led to military defense alliances. Even though Ukraine is not in NATO, it borders 4 NATO countries, it is being invaded by the great power that NATO was founded to defend against, and the major Western powers induced Ukraine in 1994 to give its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for formal recognition of its borders. India has never engaged in such transactions. And finally --- there is a question of size --- India is a nuclear power big enough to defend itself, Ukraine is .....not.
