多伦多大批印度人聚在Eaton外做这事! 全网怒斥: "加拿大被毁了"!
尤其是这两天，来自世界各地的喀拉拉邦印度人齐聚一堂，庆祝一年一度的Onam节。这个充满活力的丰收和文化的节日在他们心中占有相当特殊的地位。
然而，在Instagram上分享的一段庆祝Onam节的录像却引发了争议，并在社交媒体上受到了猛烈的批评。
更是有不少网友直接开喷：“加拿大已经被毁了！”
在这段拍摄于多伦多Yonge-Dundas广场的视频中，人们以显眼的“Maha Onam”标志和热闹的人群来热烈庆祝这一节日。
从现场视频来看，现场的节日氛围相当欢乐！大批印度人聚在一起拔河、拍照、观看表演 ↓
虽然，这个节日看起来是一件令人高兴的事，但却在网络上引发了人们的激烈讨论。网友们的反应也是褒贬不一！
评论区很快就充斥着各种“批评”的声音，不仅来自加拿大人，甚至还有些来自印度社区的成员。
其中一名印度网友直言不讳地表达了自己的失望：“我是一个来自喀拉拉邦、住在加拿大的印度人，我大老远来这里不是为了观看这样的活动。”
另一个人哀叹：“我们的加拿大已经被毁了！”
“这不是我认识的多伦多！”
“这是印度吗？？？”
“我是印度人，我不同意这种做法。”
“如果他们这么喜欢自己的家乡，为什么不回去待几年再回来呢？”
“我们离开了印度，但印度什么时候会离开我们呢？”
还有人补充说：“这活动太让人尴尬了。”
与此同时，还有少数评论更为激烈。
有印度网友开喷：“我们为什么要把我们的文化带到国外？来自旁遮普、喀拉拉邦、古吉拉特、泰米尔纳德等地的所有文化活动应该在加拿大禁止。我来自喀拉拉邦，对别人的种族主义评论感到非常羞耻。”
还有网友批评了这次活动的组织者，称其“毫无公民意识”，这场活动也是一场“虚假的文化秀”。
与此同时，也有些人为该活动进行辩护，指出这是在以文化节而闻名的地区举行的，并且已经获得了必要的许可。
“看起来这是在某个公共广场进行的庆典，这有什么问题吗？如果他们堵塞街道或打扰公众那就另当别论了，否则根本就不是问题。如果我们要阻止加拿大人庆祝他们的文化，这才是有问题的。”
此外，还有很多网友在Reddit上继续讨论，有些人指责加拿大的印度社区不愿意融入加拿大文化，因此遭到人们的反对。
然而，也有些人反驳了这种看法：“庆祝你来自国家的文化并不意味着你对居住的国家不忠。其实很多对印度的仇恨都源于加拿大日益严重的排外情绪。”
此外，还有网友表示：“我其实并不责怪印度人，根源上是堵路多政府已经把我们的移民制度变成了一个可悲的笑话。”
大家集体认为，是加拿大政府的移民政策导致人口过剩、基础设施紧张和仇外情绪的加剧。

'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.
