AI Overview Indian-owned ships are often registered under "flags of convenience" (e.g., Panama, Liberia, or Guinea-Bissau) instead of the Indian flag to avoid higher domestic taxes, bypass strict national labor laws, and navigate complex international trade zones more flexibly. Key reasons...

Also to note, under international law, firing on a ship is legally considered an act of war on the flag State, not the owner’s State.

So, so far the US has not committed an act of war against India.

A_Gupta

So if Indian nurses/healthcare workers in Israel get killed or injured, well, it is their fault, they are in a known war zone.

The rationalizations on BRF are mind-boggling; my guess is this is odds with both India public opinion and GoI opinion - that is why the GoI issued a demarche.

The Marivex was a warning sign.
The Settebello was a breaking point.
India issued a demarche only when U.S. military action directly harmed Indian nationals, not when the U.S. merely escalated blockade enforcement in general.
