多倫多大批印度人聚在Eaton外做這事! 全網怒斥: "加拿大被毀了"!
尤其是這兩天，來自世界各地的喀拉拉邦印度人齊聚一堂，慶祝一年一度的Onam節。這個充滿活力的豐收和文化的節日在他們心中占有相當特殊的地位。
然而，在Instagram上分享的一段慶祝Onam節的錄像卻引發了爭議，並在社交媒體上受到了猛烈的批評。
更是有不少網友直接開噴：“加拿大已經被毀了！”
在這段拍攝於多倫多Yonge-Dundas廣場的視頻中，人們以顯眼的“Maha Onam”標誌和熱鬧的人群來熱烈慶祝這一節日。
從現場視頻來看，現場的節日氛圍相當歡樂！大批印度人聚在一起拔河、拍照、觀看表演 ↓
雖然，這個節日看起來是一件令人高興的事，但卻在網絡上引發了人們的激烈討論。網友們的反應也是褒貶不一！
評論區很快就充斥著各種“批評”的聲音，不僅來自加拿大人，甚至還有些來自印度社區的成員。
其中一名印度網友直言不諱地表達了自己的失望：“我是一個來自喀拉拉邦、住在加拿大的印度人，我大老遠來這裏不是為了觀看這樣的活動。”
另一個人哀歎：“我們的加拿大已經被毀了！”
“這不是我認識的多倫多！”
“這是印度嗎？？？”
“我是印度人，我不同意這種做法。”
“如果他們這麽喜歡自己的家鄉，為什麽不回去待幾年再回來呢？”
“我們離開了印度，但印度什麽時候會離開我們呢？”
還有人補充說：“這活動太讓人尷尬了。”
與此同時，還有少數評論更為激烈。
有印度網友開噴：“我們為什麽要把我們的文化帶到國外？來自旁遮普、喀拉拉邦、古吉拉特、泰米爾納德等地的所有文化活動應該在加拿大禁止。我來自喀拉拉邦，對別人的種族主義評論感到非常羞恥。”
還有網友批評了這次活動的組織者，稱其“毫無公民意識”，這場活動也是一場“虛假的文化秀”。
與此同時，也有些人為該活動進行辯護，指出這是在以文化節而聞名的地區舉行的，並且已經獲得了必要的許可。
“看起來這是在某個公共廣場進行的慶典，這有什麽問題嗎？如果他們堵塞街道或打擾公眾那就另當別論了，否則根本就不是問題。如果我們要阻止加拿大人慶祝他們的文化，這才是有問題的。”
此外，還有很多網友在Reddit上繼續討論，有些人指責加拿大的印度社區不願意融入加拿大文化，因此遭到人們的反對。
然而，也有些人反駁了這種看法：“慶祝你來自國家的文化並不意味著你對居住的國家不忠。其實很多對印度的仇恨都源於加拿大日益嚴重的排外情緒。”
此外，還有網友表示：“我其實並不責怪印度人，根源上是堵路多政府已經把我們的移民製度變成了一個可悲的笑話。”
大家集體認為，是加拿大政府的移民政策導致人口過剩、基礎設施緊張和仇外情緒的加劇。
對於這件事，你怎麽看？
'Our Canada is ruined': This Onam celebration in Toronto is facing backlash from both Canadians and Indians, here's why
Kerala's Onam festival, celebrated with flair at Toronto's Dundas Square, has stirred controversy after a viral video of the event. Both Canadians and Indians in Canada criticised it for lacking civic sense, leading to a broader debate. But, what’s the real issue behind the uproar?
Check out the video here:
In the video captured at Toronto's Dundas Square, a vibrant celebration of Onam, the cherished Kerala harvest festival, was showcased with a prominent 'Maha Onam' sign and a lively crowd.
While the festival appeared to be a joyful affair, it has sparked a heated debate online, drawing mixed reactions.
The comments section quickly filled with criticism, not only from Canadians but also from members of the Indian community in Canada.
Some voiced their disappointment, with one commenter stating, "I am an Indian from Kerala living in Canada, and I didn't come all this way to see such events here."
Another lamented, "Our Canada is ruined," while a third added that this was an embarrassment to all Mallus.
A few comments took a more drastic stance, with one suggesting, "Why should we bring our culture into foreign countries? All cultural activities from Punjab, Kerala, Gujrat, Tamil Nadu etc should be banned from Canada..I am from Kerala, India and really ashamed of the amount of racist comments."
Several criticised the event's organisation, claiming it displayed "zero civic sense" and was merely a "fake cultural show-up."
Yet, others defended the celebration, pointing out that the event was held in an area known for cultural festivities and had obtained the necessary permits. "This is not like other people taking speakers and dancing in the middle of the side walk," one user explained.

On Reddit, discussions continued, with some accusing the Indian community in Canada of being reluctant to integrate into Canadian culture, thus facing backlash.
However, others countered this view, arguing, "Celebrating the culture of the country where you are from doesn't mean you are not loyal to the one you are living in. On the argument of hate to the Indian community due to not integrating, a lot of the hate is due to the rising xenophobia in Canada."
Further, a commenter reflected on the broader issues, stating, "I do not actually blame the Indians themselves because the Trudeau government has made our immigration system a pathetic joke."
They point out that the Canadian administration's immigration policies have resulted in overpopulation, strained infrastructure, and heightened xenophobia.
