'Indians doing everything to escape India': Woman's garba move at Canada citizenship ceremony draws flak

A woman doing garba at the Canadian citizenship ceremony has triggered a major controversy that snowballed into hatred against Indians, as social media users said only "third-world people" do such things. They also questioned why Indians become so happy when they give up Indian citizenship yet they cling to their culture in foreign countries.

For the couple who posted the video, it was more than just a ceremony as they wrote in the caption of the video. It was a full-circle moment after eight years in Canada. "Attending my Canadian citizenship ceremony in person at Mississauga. From dreams, struggles, and small wins… to finally calling this place my home officially," the post said, explaining why the garba was an expression that their roots were alive in every step.
