Some Indian defence experts on twitter were saying they should arm the taliban with tejas and other indian made weapons 🤣.
 
Turkey can eat India alive militarily. Turkey is very battle-hardened as they actively participated in Syrian civil war and also against Kurdish separatists. They also fought against ISIS.

Indian military is quite incompetent as seen from recent conflict with Pakistan. :inti:inti

Indians urge Turkey boycott amid regional tensions

What began as public calls to boycott travel to Turkey has now escalated into a broader rupture, with India severing links with Turkish businesses and universities.

The diplomatic chill stems from Turkey's recent vocal support for Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan hostilities.

On Thursday India barred Turkish firm Celebi from operating at its airports, citing national security concerns - an allegation the company denies.

Several Indian universities - including Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Millia Islamia, and Maulana Azad National Urdu University- have also suspended academic ties with Turkish institutions.

Celebi, which handled ground services at major airports like Delhi and Mumbai, has been formally dropped, in line with the federal aviation ministry orders.

India's minister of state for aviation has said in a post on X that in recent days the government had received requests from across the country to ban the company.

"Recognising the seriousness of the issue and the call to protect national interests, we have taken cognisance of these requests. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has revoked the security clearance of the said company," the minister stated.

According to a Bloomberg report, Celebi has said it will pursue all "administrative and legal" remedies to "clarify" the allegations and seek a reversal of the order. The company also called the revocation of its security clearance "unjust".

"Our company and subsidiaries bear no responsibility for any potential disruptions, delays or negative impacts on airport operations and civil aviation traffic in India," Bloomberg quoted the company as saying.

Deadly fighting broke out between India and Pakistan last week after Delhi launched airstrikes on its neighbour, saying it was in response to the deadly Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. Pakistan has denied any involvement in the incident.

Turkey and Azerbaijan were quick to back Pakistan after India's military action - Ankara warned of "all-out war", while Baku condemned Delhi's strikes.

The fallout sparked a wave of backlash, with boycott calls against Turkey - and Azerbaijan - gaining traction on social media and being echoed by senior political leaders. The boycott gained momentum after reports emerged of Turkish drones being used by Pakistan against India.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a former federal minister and a member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said: "Every hardworking Indian who travels abroad as a tourist understands today that their hard-earned rupee should not be spent on those who help the enemies of our country."

The social media boycott calls had an immediate impact, with Indian travel sites reporting a sharp spike in cancellations this week.

"Indian travellers have expressed strong sentiments over the past week, with bookings for Azerbaijan and Turkey decreasing by 60%, while cancellations have surged by 250%," said a spokesperson for travel website MakeMyTrip.

Most travel sites still allow bookings, but some are discouraging travel, with promotions and flight discounts to Turkey and Azerbaijan quietly pulled.

Rohit Khattar, who runs a travel agency in Delhi, said he's already seeing clear hesitation among clients about visiting Turkey.

"Many young travellers may avoid it, fearing backlash on social media or social retribution," he said, adding that his firm won't risk investing in trips that might not take off.

According to official data, 330,100 Indians visited Turkey in 2024, up from 274,000 in 2023. Azerbaijan also saw a rise, with nearly 244,000 Indian arrivals last year.

Despite rising numbers, Indians made up for less than 1% of Turkey's foreign visitors in 2024 - a modest share with limited impact on overall tourism revenue. In contrast, they accounted for nearly 9% of foreign arrivals in Azerbaijan.

After the pandemic, Turkey and Azerbaijan grew popular among Indian travellers for their affordability, proximity, and Europe-like experiences at lower costs. Budget airlines have boosted access with direct flights in recent years.

Some social media users are promoting alternatives like Greece, but travel sites report no major spike in interest.

Travel website Cleartrip told the BBC, "As this is a developing situation, we haven't seen significant highs or lows in demand for these alternate destinations".

My brother lives in Dammam. He actually chose to go Azarbaijan with his family the past summer instead of turkey. He actually enjoyed more since Turkey has become more expensive. Azerbaijanis a very short flight away. Indians however are SMARTLY ;) distancing from both cheap and amazing locations - LoL
 
Turkey's visa for Indian citizens costs 20K INR which is quite hefty and it has a lot of hassle involved with a in person appointment. I dont think they want a lot of people from the subcontinent visiting their country.

If Indians reside in UK/US/EU then the process is way simpler, it can all be done online and costs less too.

lol every stereotype that Indians are infamous for in the West applies to Pakistan and Bangladesh as well especially hygiene and civic sense which is sadly totally lacking in most of the populace.

India is just much larger and gets used as a proxy for all the three countries.

Sri Lanka and Bhutan are the only clean countries in the region imo. Even Nepalese cities arent very clean

With their poor hygiene standards Indians need to be washed down before setting foot in any other country outside of their own. Instead of missiles we should’ve dropped lifebuoy soap and cool n cool sanitary wipes on them. Would’ve sent them running :yk

there is no narrative here, its just facts

Indians online are very hateful towards muslims so many pakistanis have started to use the Pajeet meme as a way to counter it. But in truth all these Pajeet memes target brown men from the subcontinent equally, the people making them just cant tell us apart. The lack of hygiene and civic sense is prevalent in all three countries. The unhealthy obsession with goris and displaying stalkerish obsessive behaviour with white women also exists in all three countries.

One thing where India has more of is scam call centers targeting old white people . There is an entire industry operating in the big cities where even legitimate call centers have sections which run these scams and police dont take any action. Its a blight on the country

But even here Pakistanis run their own lottery scams and digital arrest scams targeting Indians
 
Turkey doesn't need India. Turkey should give India a middle finger and cut all ties with them. :inti
 
India is making lots of enemies.

India has beef with Pakistan, China, and Turkey. India has no real military ally.

This stupidity may cost India big in the long run. If a war breaks out, I can fully see India being conquered, annexed, and balkanized.

Let's not forget, India tapped out (asked for a ceasefire) in less than 5 days which wasn't even a full-blown war.

Since you are trying to be logical which means that you are not a pajeet, do you believe in Hindu Extremism as in many other religion followers including Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc...? Do you believe that Moody and his cult are extremists?

Indian boycott of Turkish coffee, chocolates and fashion grows
Small Indian grocery shops and major online fashion retailers are boycotting Turkish products ranging from chocolates, coffee, jams and cosmetics to clothing amid growing anger at Turkey's support for Pakistan in a confrontation with India.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan expressed public solidarity with Pakistan, another majority-Muslim country, after India conducted military strikes in response to an attack in Indian Kashmir by Islamist assailants. Cross-border fighting continued for four days before a ceasefire was declared.

On Monday, the All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF), which supplies 13 million mom-and-pop grocery stores, said it was launching an "indefinite and total boycott" of all Turkish-origin goods, which would affect chocolates, wafers, jams, biscuits and skincare products.

Indian fashion websites owned by Walmart-backed Flipkart and billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance have removed numerous Turkish apparel brands, according to three sources and a review of their websites.

Flipkart's fashion website Myntra removed listings of Turkish brands including Trendyol, known for women's clothing, street and casual wear brand LC Waikiki and jeans producer Mavi, said one source with direct knowledge.

Myntra removed the brands "in the national interest" without Walmart's involvement, a second source with direct knowledge said.

Reliance's fashion website AJIO also removed Turkish brands including Trendyol, Koton, LC Waikiki from its app, and many of those listings were shown as out of stock on Monday. A source cited "national sentiments" as a reason.

Flipkart, Reliance Retail and the Turkish brands Trendyol, LC Waikiki, Koton and Mavi did not respond to requests for comment.

India has not ordered companies to boycott Turkey, and India's annual $2.7 billion in goods imports from Turkey are dominated by mineral fuels and precious metals.

But a consumer boycott could still be significant. AICPDF said its ban would affect around 20 billion rupees ($234 million) of food products. Apparel imports were worth $81 million last year, according to the Trading Economics reference website.

Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, chief minister of Himachal Pradesh, one of India's biggest apple-growing states, said on Monday he would ask for a ban on apple imports from Turkey, which were worth around $60 million last year.

Moreover, last week Flipkart said it was suspending flight, hotel and holiday package bookings to Turkey "in solidarity with India’s national interest and sovereignty".

Indians have been cancelling holidays to Turkey and New Delhi has cancelled the security clearance of the Turkish-based aviation ground handling firm Celebi.

Panic in Turkey as country risks losing £300m as furious tourists cancel flights

Turkey has seen a 250% spike in cancellations from Indian tourists after pledging support for Pakistan amid regional tensions.

Indian tourists contributed more than £300 million ($400m) to the Turkish economy last year - but calls for a boycott over the country's recent support for Pakistan could create an economic black hole in its tourism sector. Hostilities between India and Pakistan came to a head when Delhi launched airstrikes on its neighbour earlier this month, and despite a ceasefire in the region appearing to hold, tensions remain high between the two countries. Turkey was quick to back Pakistan after the escalation in conflict, warning about the risk of "all-out war" and calling for a "just and lasting peace in Kashmir through dialogue and cooperation".

Iranian Ayotollahs I believe have Turkic origins. Which means very European. They look like that too compared to ordinary Iranians who tend to look more Indic than Eastern Euro.

Turkey is a joke. The central asians occupying christian lands, kidnapping children and Women from Eastern Euro kingdoms. They diluted their Asian features so much that they look indistinguishable from their neighbors now. But they call themselves Turks. The atrocities committed by Ottomans is no less than what Nazis did. Not just genocides. But horrible slavery under Ottomans flourished until 19th century.

Yes. It is funny India is going nuts with Turkey even though most of Pakistan's arms come from China. Turkey mostly sent in a bunch of drones.

India don't have the gut to take on China I guess. China can literally end India by annexing it completely. :inti

For the record, China has grabbed 2000 sq km of Indian territory since 2020 without any major war. India could do nothing about it.

China is not carrying the same religious chip on their shoulder re Islam. This has allowed them to create a bigger vison to be a lead player in Asia's coming rise over the next century while India is still stuck fixating on Mughals and Pakistan. You being here is a prime example of it.

Yes. It is funny India is going nuts with Turkey even though most of Pakistan's arms come from China. Turkey mostly sent in a bunch of drones.

India don't have the gut to take on China I guess. China can literally end India by annexing it completely. :inti

For the record, China has grabbed 2000 sq km of Indian territory since 2020 without any major war. India could do nothing about it.

If turkey only supplied drones to Pakistan then I don’t think they have faced wrath of Indians. But they backed Pakistan sponsored terrorism by giving open support to Pakistan. They also sent one ship

Their entire politics revolves around centuries dead emperors, then it progresses to how 1.3 billion Hindus are being threatened by 10% their number, which leads to delusions about Akhand Bharat, forgetting that in such a fictional state Muslims would number 600 billion. They're whining about half that number now, how could they handle double that?

I never get it and am amazed how stung they are about the Mughals. Why on earth does it matter? The Mughals have been dead with their bones into dust for centuries now. That land now ruled by Hindus. But that is not enough(?)

I don't understand it at all. I am a HUGE ancient history nut (to the point I am seriously considering degrees for this) and India stands alone with this hateful fascination about their past. Carthage and Rome had the most vicious rivalry, resulting in the utter destruction of the former. The maginificent city of Ancient Carthage was then rebuilt by Rome, with its Punic remains buried and Roman construction ontop of it. Today you see modern Tunisians honor their Punic ancestory and history with Hannibal being revered and also respecting their Roman past and ensuring it remains part of their city's idenity. You don't see them tearing down Roman ruins in rage. You don't see that anywhere (except maybe Israel, which says it all). You don't see any country so hatefully almost removing their past history selectively like India does. And if they faced no scrunity 100% they'd even tear down Taj Mahal.

Its why I have said before, the entire north Indian nation seems utterly crazed and frenzied by hate, bigotry and delusions of superiority. South India remains sane while the North I feel is totally lost now to any reason.

I also think India is no match to Turkey militarily. Turkish military is incredibly battle-hardened. Turkey is a NATO member also.

Indian military got their butts kicked in 2019, 2025, and also against the Chinese during border clash (conceded territories).

At this stage, we simply need to wait out the lunatic Erdogan era and observe whether the next Turkish regime maintains a similar antagonistic stance toward Bharat.

Should Turkey return to a genuinely secular foreign policy in the future, we may witness a significant shift in its approach to the Bharat–Pakistan dynamic. Until then, our current posture should remain firm but clearly temporary, with an emphasis on our openness to re-engagement similar to the path we are following with Bangladesh. Our friendship offer for Bangladesh also always remains on the table once they refrain from needlessly involving Chinese military presence in the region.

From a business standpoint, Bharat does not have any dependency on Turkey. However, Turkey, in the long term, cannot afford to antagonise Bharat.
Why? Because Bharat continues to be a key proponent for an alternative economic corridor connecting Asia to Europe, one that deliberately bypasses Turkey. Notably, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have already aligned with Bharat on this. If realized, this route could cost Turkey billions in lost trade potential and significantly reduce its strategic relevance in global commerce. Simply put it’s a catastrophic prospect for Turkey.


Let’s be clear Bharat is growing much faster than China and before the next century it could even be sitting at the top of the table when it comes to global trade. Erdogan would be dead by then but Turkey would continue to suffer from the consequences of his policies.

Turkey is among one of the most beautiful countries to travel to, far better than many other European countries. We all know for a fact how Europeans and Eastern European would look at Indians, compared to Turkish people who tend to be a lot more humble and a lot less racist. World travels and trades with Turkey, it wouldn't matter to them if Bhakt Sanghis don't go. Majority Indians would line up in a beat to travel to Turkey if given the opportunity, no matter how much Bhakt cola they inject
 
I don't know why Indians travel to Turkey anyway. It is a Muslim country, albeit a beautiful one which is a great advert of how to build one with decent infrastructure in Asia.

Why don't Indians just go to Greece instead? It is very similar to Turkey, except they consider themselves European, so that should be ideal for self-hating Indians who like kissing up to western nations. Make it a Big 3 of tourist destinations. Although you might not get any Greeks who want to travel the other way.

Turkey is officially a secular state

Although numerous surveys all show that Islam is the country's most common religion.

That is the best way to run a country in present times in my opinion. What is the alternative? Afghanistan or Iran probably.
 
300,000 Indians boycotting out of nearly 6 million visitors.

I am sure Turks are quaking in their boots.

I think Turks would be delighted if these obnoxious sanghis stop coming to Turkey.

Sanghis are unwanted everywhere. They should quarantine themselves in India permenently.
