7 more Indians release video, say forced to fight Ukraine war by Russian army
Boy, my sympathy went to 0 pretty damn fast. Might as well have said they went to Nazi Germany as tourists.
edit: grammar
There was a whole Olympics hosted by Nazi Germany.

Indians would certainly have gone to Nazi Germany for a holiday.
I don't know if media coverage and public awareness about the atrocities are high enough in India to make that judgement.
Sorry, the power of pedantry compels me. Hope this is of help at least.
You are a victim of propaganda, indoctrination, and tribalism.
I mean even though the Russian state is utterly corrupt, this recruiting vector seems way to convoluted to be practical.
It might also be that they did volunteer, but made up this story in order to seem the victim.
From another comment in here it sounds like someone scammed them into going to Belarus where they didn't have authorization to be and were arrested as criminals and criminals can be conscripts.
Doesn't seem like the Russian government is doing this intentionally as much as they're looking the other way since it benefits them. I wouldn't be surprised if the scammer gets a kickback from whomever in the police is benefiting from sending the army conscripts.
