A video showing hundreds of people participating in a vibrant Indian cultural festival in Toronto has gone viral on social media, sparking intense discussions about immigration, diversity and multiculturalism in Canada.

The clip was widely shared alongside the caption: “Canada has turned into an Indian colony!!!! Canadians are now a minority in Toronto and the flood of immigrants is larger than ever before. We cannot let this happen to us. Wake up!!!!”

The event, reportedly held in Toronto, highlighted different aspects of Indian culture, with visitors enjoying regional cuisine, folk performances, cultural showcases and family-oriented activities celebrating India’s rich heritage.

Mixed reactions:

A user wrote, “Horrible dancing and they continue to do this everywhere.”

Another reacted, “Completely unwanted. I too lived in the US for a decade but I felt that time was exploratory – melting pot, variety of food, freedom to go to clubs & casinos etc etc. Let America and Canada be what it is. Keep your traditional stuff in a private ground or at home.”

A third commented, “How miserable you have to be to hate people for having fun.” A fourth said, “Isn’t Canada built on immigrants? Just like the USA, Australia, and New Zealand? Who are the original people of Canada?”
