As news of the Russian military operation in Ukraine spread, industrialist Anand Mahindra shared a video of air raids sounding in Lviv, Ukraine on Thursday, recalling how, despite the experience of other wars, "the world doesn't seem to have learned any lessons".
Mahindra Group chairman tweeted: "I lived through two wars in my childhood: 1965 and 1971. And I remember how scary it was when the air raid sirens sounded in Mumbai."
He was referring to the wars between India and Pakistan in 1965 and 1971.
"This sound woke up those nightmarish memories. The world doesn't seem to have learned any lessons," Anand Mahindra tweeted.
"I have lived through two wars during my childhood: '65 and '71. And I remember how spine chilling it was when air raid sirens went off in Mumbai. This sound has reawakened those nightmarish memories. The world doesn't seem to have learned any lessons."

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday announced a military operation in Ukraine to defend separatists in the east of the country. Russian forces invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea on Thursday in the largest interstate attack in Europe since World War II.
An Ukrainian military plane was shot down on Thursday and five people were killed, Ukrainian police and state emergency services said, as its armed forces tried to repel a massive Russian military operation.
Moscow has also warned Russians not to join anti-war protests.
Ukraine fought Russian forces along virtually its entire border with Russia, with fierce fighting in Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Odessa regions and at a military airport near Kyiv, an adviser to the presidential office said.
The Ukrainian official said they feared that Russian forces would be dropped into the country and then attempt to enter Kyiv's government district.
