Strange though it may seem, one indian told me that (jokingly).

I feel the sound really is all in the back of the throat with the back of your tongue. I had the hardest time for a while pronouncing ы but it's all a matter of listening to native speakers and imitating the sound. It may feel awkward and unnatural at first, but as you continue to imitate the sound it will come naturally so you won't have to try as hard.

If you've learnt Latin, then it's the "oe"sound.

Slightly similar to the English "ecrU".

Which Russian sound do you mean? If "ы", it is not like "oe". As far as I know, Latin "oe" is like German "ö". It is not like Russian "ы" AT ALL.
