The video brought to light the varying opinions and perspectives of Indian netizens on topics ranging from education and safety to the allure of foreign countries like Canada
A viral video featuring an Indian woman studying biotech in Canada has sparked a heated debate and drawn criticism from Indian netizens. In the video, the student, named Ekta, expressed her long-held dream of leaving India and highlighted her favorite aspects of living in Canada, such as experiencing breathtaking sunrises and sunsets and enjoying the scenic beauty of the North American country.
In the video, Ekta responded to questions from a male presenter, discussing her academic pursuits and aspirations of becoming a businesswoman in the future. However, her comments received mixed reactions on Twitter. Some users criticized her for expressing a desire to leave India and praising Canada, while others supported her, pointing out concerns about women’s safety in India.
The viral video also highlighted the need for constructive dialogue and empathy when discussing issues that impact people’s lives and choices
One particular issue raised by some Twitter users was the quality of Indian students going to Canada, with claims that Canada mostly imports the country’s “trash.” Additionally, there were allegations that some individuals not proficient in English were scoring high in language proficiency exams like IELTS, raising skepticism about the opportunities Canada offers compared to India.
Some netizens were perplexed by Ekta’s statement about experiencing sunrises and sunsets in Canada, considering the country’s long winters with minimal daylight. This led to debates about the accuracy of certain claims made by those who choose to migrate.
Unfortunately, the video also witnessed instances of body-shaming, with some users criticizing Ekta for not aligning with their own thoughts and choices. In response, others came to her support, urging people to stop such negative behavior and citing reasons like women’s safety as one of the factors why she left India.
The video brought to light the varying opinions and perspectives of Indian netizens on topics ranging from education and safety to the allure of foreign countries like Canada. It also highlighted the need for constructive dialogue and empathy when discussing issues that impact people’s lives and choices.
