Among them was one user named Megha who took to the microblogging platform to express her feelings about Indian migrants living in Canada. She listed reasons for those feelings and got many reactions and comments in response.
Megha wrote, “My parents and entire family HATE the Indian migrants filling up Canada. Probably more than the migrants themselves because of how thoroughly they’ve damaged our reputation. Indian immigrants who were educated came largely from nice families, from the city, with manners, English skills and etiquette.”
She continued, “These new migrants, defiling the beaches and groping women, come from illiterate, low-class backgrounds and have no sense of civic duty nor are they capable of learning. Class systems are real. This is why the strongest right-wing force in Canada comes from the 80s and 90s Indian immigrants, ironically.”

One wrote: “What changed in the immigration system that they started allowing uneducated migrants? I always thought US and Canadian immigration systems are designed to attract only the highly skilled, educated Indians.”
Another user, Steven, replied, “Canadians don’t get class distinctions. Literally, they place everybody in one basket. This irresponsible Trudeau immigration policy is at the root of huge problems, destroying our social fabric and turning Canadians against immigrants in general. This is a very bad thing.”
“Megha, you guys in Canada can devise a system of hierarchy to divide the population. Like: White Canadians > 80s and 90s Indian Canadians > Other races > New Indians This way you can discriminate against these new Indians and make sure the educated Indians don’t marry or mingle with them. You can call this system a ‘Caste System’ or something,” commented Vineeth Naik.
