Blue and sunflower yellow were the flavours of Sunday, March 6, 2022 at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, when Ukrainians and Indian supporters of Ukraine got together to march for the beleaguered nation.
Not all Indians, it seems, support the government's carefully calibrated neutral stand on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
And they came out to say it on Sunday waving Ukrainian flags and the Indian Tricolour too.
They gave speeches. They sang. They raised slogans. They wore Ukrainian costumes. Ukraine Zindabad!
