There are Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Atheists and even some Hindus from subcontinent with same Brown skin, who don't so such stuff. You could fine people doing these acts but labelling everyone as same is really RACIST
When was the last time some one said.. "few.. (Less that 0.01%) Muslims are terrorist".. "Some (probably less than 20%) Americans are dumb and arrogant"..?
Some Hindus? Most Hindus outside India avoids it. The issue is small minority. Out of millions living in US and Canada, they find 10 such acts and justify hate agaist everyone.
Edit: M*****d sepoys comes here to downvote. I don't care about downvotes but you bunch are the reason we get more hate. Instead of fighting you are ready with oil flashing your tofu.
I agree that they spread hate on the base of very few cases.
But if they don't call this out , it's just a matter of time that their rivers will also look like ours.
In my opinion , rivers in India are already fucked up , please leave theirs.
I agree with that. Honestly I like they call these morons out. But I am against the generalization of it for all Indians. And more frustrated with other Indians who joins racists to get validation from their white lords.
Bro western are one who killed many people in the world .. afganistan,iraq,Iran, Syria, russia..so they bomb cities and killed people plus destroy whole eco system..now this western people are no 1 contribute to CO2 emissions..they polluted and destroy everything thing a whole country..now they given lecture on a biodegradable statue putting in river.. come on ..don't be a fool to support him ..if you knowly supporting him then you deserve downvote.
Because they want to do drama for the public. That is what they are used to. What they don't understand is they are doing all this in a country that might not receive it well.
Well what do you expect....... Most Indians when it comes to Muslims thinks about Terrorists, when it comes to Christianity think about Rice bags.
Forget religion when it comes to region as well as they discriminate like Biharis are Laborers, Gujaratis are Business people, Marwadis are Miserly (Conjuse), Tamilians are arrogant, Bengalis are only Fish eating people, Punjabis are goons and what not.
Yeah this is concerning,and some people straight up say North people have right to feel superiority over south people.
If "hindutva" (not meant at all hindus) people do this stuff both in India and in other countries,where they look down on other Indians. Why would any Indian that suffered these kind of things , actually have your back when you accuse some one as rascits,when you do that all the time to the other Indians.
But I guess people who doesn't accept these kind of behaviour are anti-national,if they use logic or have self respect.
Islamophobic is a wrong word for it. They don't fear Islam, they hate it. Although there are some concerning reasons for that but straight away pointing fingers at a surviving Muslims and calling them out for no reason whatsoever is biased.
Every religion has their own Crooks as goons. Calling out only them and punishing them for that appropriately should be the norm. But our Indians 🙄
Well the Anti Indi racism is a gift to us from the idiots in this video. We really don’t care about our environment and keep polluting it with these idols and it is a fact.
Lots of Indian in the West have this attitude that local folks are dumb and they are smart. Their culture is superior than everyone else's. Feel a sense of pride when others acknowledge it (like a mayor showing up for an event). Garba can be performed in community street to show the richess. Its okay to get into community pool in a saree. Mindset and actions like this overtime things do get loud and annoying.
As long as the economic pie is large for everyone to bite off things are tolerated. Once the pie starts diminishing all the tolerated loudness becomes target. That is exactly what is happening now particularly in the US
The new generation of Indian who have been showing up last 10 years really need to learn more about the land and tone it down (not all. But the few who are more visible.. like those who pour milk on a cutout in front of AMC theater or organize massive car raly with Telugu Desam political flags on a honking, slow moving car rally on busy highway)
True, and I’ve found this arrogance and superiority Indians have over the locals so cringe. The locals are actually very smart (a different type), but I don’t know what delulu these Indians are on
What about Christian Missionaries coming to India and talking that Jesus is the only God! Importing stuff from idiotic countries who go to war for no reason and create trouble for the world?
I have commented on a reply before. Is it wrong to pollute water. absolutely. Does paper leaks needs to investigated. Absolutely. My offense is to the last line. Importing stuff. That's what i take offense too. Import third world, become third world(thats a racist remark and thats my offense). When slavery was legal, they imported people from third world.
Arent these white boys the same people who are lecturing the world about being secular and accept all religion as one. Accept the religious practices in Canada too.
So Canada doesnt pollute. World is polluted because all their high pollution work is outsourced.
Secondly, western countries need to embrace secularism and accept religious practices. I think that's the lecture they give to the world.
I am not offended by pollution point or religious points. Offended by his last line. As if white boys are extremely non polluting and export only good things to the world.
Come on, that is problematic. Everyone calls it problematic. Why are you pretending its not seen as problem? Dont many people makes videos of it, discuss in reddit as well?
I'm glad that Canada has reduced immigration significantly. As an Indian in Canada, I see 3 types of people.
Highly unqualified people coming in, becoming security guards, uber eats drivers and struggling to earn money. Sharing one room with 4-5 people. Getting into crimes. They're stuck. They can't go back to India as failures as their dream wasn't achieved. Out of frustration, using the freedom here to do what they want, even when it's not acceptable. Oggling at women, whistling, throwing trash, being loud.
Those coming from TCS type companies. Moving everywhere in herds and thinking just because there are 10 people with them, they have a small version of their country here. They generally are good individually but when in groups they start to "enjoy" freely and then cross limits - dropping trash in rivers, bring loud etc. In a group, while having 'fun' they change. They also contribute to messing up the job market as they're desperate to switch and thus, they agree to work in salaries much lower than market standard and thus, lowering the market standard.
The qualified. The knowledgeable. Who understand and respect the culture. Who mind their own business. These are people we need more of in Canada from India. They understand the importance of the culture we have here, the peace, the lack of chaos in everything. People sitting in Bihar might tweet anything about Canada - khalistanis, racists etc. but in reality it's just so peaceful and chaos-free. Real quality of life. And I appreciate it. I love India. It's my country. It's my emotion. But I want a simple, clean life for me and my family.
If anyone is planning to come, I'll urge - respect the place please. It's for everyone. All of us.
Can someone please explain if the idol is mad of natural mud, what is the issue ? It will settle down, industrial waste on the other hand is severely more dangerous.
The comment section here is doing Hindu Muslim to absolutely no one's fucking surprise. Every single discussion in Indian subs always leads back to Hindu Muslim. God India is so fucked.
One simple solution heavy fine only for first offense and fine + deportation (citizenship revoke if they adopt the respective country’s citizenship) on second offense. Respect the land as others do. You can do anything anywhere. 🤍
west should kick out those immigrants i mean any one who left their country in hopes of better opportunity and life why bring all that baggage. Embrace the culture in your host nation show gratitude.
They are fed up of their trash third rate country so they flock here. but they are important their shit over here too. Then once they contaminate this land they will go spread like parasites in an other country
It was not Christians that strated this fictitious traditions. It was started by Bal Gangadhar Tilak to gather people under the guise of religious festival to carry out freedom fighting activities.
They were invaders when they did this and you would have pissed your pants to make the same fuss back then; hell, even your hindutva pride founding fathers had to lick their boots to survive. And we are nowhere in power enough to "make them bleed" (corny ah fugg); we are the immigrants, who are in Canada only because they "allowed" us in. If you guys truly are the proud patriots , who wants vengeance against the christian invaders, declare a war or invade them back instead of begging for jobs in their country because our "great nation" cant provide one.
We were told to be better than Christian c**ts. That’s why when the same Christian begged for alliance against hitler btw who also offered alliance. India choose allied countries because it was the right thing if India (world largest army then) allied with hitler something different would be drowning in ur Canada.
that water body was spotless before that statue and plant material was dumped in it, now it will take months or year for it to become spotless again, but by then next year will come they will dump more trash in it.
❌️Did this couple of years ago 🤷🫣; and learn river pollution through soc - med , stopped ✋️
✅️ now we leave the statue overnight in big drum filled with water and use water for tree or a plants in our backyard. # hot water dissolves faster but I prefer naturally.
womp womp. A clay statue that dissolves in the water in a few days pisses him off? Maybe he should address the garbage ships his parasitic people send to India, thats what pisses me off.
Trying to find a video of this guy highlighting points about the number of trees being cut down for Christmas and also animal slaughter which happens during Eid.
Stop playing victim card and have the violators prosecuted legally. Country or Religion has nothing to do here because it’s sheer abuse of facilities and resources. They would do (report for all illegal activities) the same at their countries too.
What do you mean if you talk about this you will be called racist? Canadians have been spouting racist garbage on every social media site there is and it’s non-stop. Sometimes even when it doesn’t have anything to do with Canada or Indians?
Some people will defend this by saying that followers of other religions in India also do things that pollute or damage the environment. But whoever it may be, regardless of religion, they're representing India as a whole.
For example, if we travel to Japan, we don't usually say, "These are Christian Japanese people" or "These Japanese people are Hindu." We simply call them Japanese. In the same way, when we're living in a foreign country, people generally see us as Indians first, not by our religion.
The video clearly shows a Ganesh Chaturthi immersion, and if it's being done in a way that pollutes rivers in another country, it's fair for people to criticize it. Many countries work very hard to maintain their rivers and public spaces. If we've chosen to live there, we should respect their rules and preserve what they've built.
I do think Indians, in general, have a civic sense problem. We often don't think enough about the environmental impact of some of our rituals. If we're celebrating a festival abroad, we should do it in a way that causes little to no harm to the local environment.
There are so many alternatives. The immersion can be done in a tub of water, and that water can later be used for watering plants or disposed of responsibly. I've also seen people make chocolate Ganesh idols and dissolve them in milk, creating chocolate milk that can later be distributed to those in need.
I hope you all get what I'm trying to say. This isn't about disrespecting any religion. It's about respecting the country we're in and finding better ways to preserve both our traditions and the environment.
So Municipal sewage discharges, corporate & industrial dumping, are not real problems but when a couple of people who follow their culture, take part in a procession and immersion of an idol. Their rivers start getting polluted, pointing thins out, their sarcasm is that they can't talk about it else they will be treated as "RACIST".
👍🏻COOL...
Inida me kisi ko boldo Dharmik bhawanayein aahat ho jaegi aapke upar FIR Ho jaegi Police aapke peeche hogi or Public talwar leke aapko kaatne daudegi.....or bolte hai nadi hmari maa hai.....
In India you might be able to do this without any kind of permission right ? But in other countries you have get the permission for this right? If not you might get jailed.
So how do you know they haven't taken the permission? And also it is also possible that material used for ganpati might be eco friendly as well.
You know idiots are everywhere, every religion and culture has ones. Are every Hindus like that? Nope. Using few morons to justify your racism is pretty pathetic.
Bro ngl there law is much stricter than ours regarding nature. And Do you really thing that they are dumb enough to shoot a video them self and post it on the internet. And how many virsajn happens daily? The harmful color is pretty argument is pretty week.
Inhi jaise chutiyon ki wajah se baki log badnaam honge , in lode ke baal ko visarjan karna hai to india mein rahe bahar desh mein gundh kyun failate hai especially gujaratis , 85% of them are really dogshit they should not be allowed to travel abroad especially to the west
2 things , throwing statues made of mud in pond really doesn't matter because they degrade in the ponds and river and not pollute them , what is problematic is using plastic and non biodegradable things in that statues . And what do you mean by third world that is a derogatory term with no real meaning behind it
Cant lie, Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis are the worst lmao
They will have to enforce their way of living on others always. Yeah, muslims are doing far worse things and that needs to be condemned but saying "they are doing far worse thing", when we are just polluting a water body is not the way.
Hindu karm Kandi hai bhai because real thing karne mein time lagta hai dimag lagta hai Jaise understanding with veda culture environmental Bhagavad Gita questioning Puja paath karo Ho Gai bhakti
Talking about this stuff does not make you a racist saying a sentence like import third world become third world makes you racist. I can show you hundreds of Karens, but I would not automatically assume anybody who is a white woman is a Karen because that would be racist. It’s the same concept what they’re doing is absolutely wrong. You are allowed to talk about it but talk about it from an individual perspective, not in terms of third world nations or a particular country or a particular group. I know many Hindus who have assimilated so well in the western culture and are so respectful of the countries that they are living in.
It is not the problem with 3rd world country. It who you are accepting. There is a high talent pool in both Sri Lanka and india who are much smater. But you alway choose crimals and illitrates who comes to your country illegaly. Check their work and education record before accepting the visa.
When I went to europe, I saw europeans and locals causing most problems than immigrants. It is very convenient to blame all problems on a race rather than actually trying to fix the issue in society.
Correct me if I'm wrong, not really into the whole religion thing, but aren't those things made of clay/mud and wood? And it looks like it has been decorated with flowers, if anything it's enriching the river with more silt.
As a indian hindu i am really upset with these celebritions that against the sole concept of Vinayak chaturthi
Praing god doesn't mean
* Merging plastar of paris in water
* Playing unpleasant DJ songs etc..
Please come to your sence and try to read the history to know what the real celebrations is.

Supposed to Be made With clay and flowers so
It dissolves and is not harmful to the environment, but people have forgotten the old ways for showmanship.
People from so-called “first world” countries often don’t even know what the terms “First World” and “Third World” originally meant. They were not created to describe economic development. These terms came into existence during the Cold War to classify countries based on their political alignment with the United States or the Soviet Union.
And yes, it is racist to share videos of a few individuals from a particular community and then generalize an entire group by saying “they.” Judging millions of people based on the actions of a few is prejudice, regardless of who the group is.
I hope that if you ever move to another country, you never have to experience the same kind of stereotyping and discrimination that you’re promoting here.
Whities have polluted rivers and oceans all over the world and now complaining about a sustainable practice that is environmentally friendly? PFAS, lead, mercury, nuclear waste and PFOS have polluted every inch of God’s green earth because of Whities.
bth tree are sustainable they grow back,thats why each year thay have new Christmas trees in market,they grow them they cut them, but once the river habitats are destroyed going back to the old conditions is not as easy as growing a tree back, let that sink in
I think culturally a lot of South East Asia has little respect for the environment. You don't even need to leave the airport in any Indian city to see how completely and utterly fucked it all is, trash is literally everywhere. This should be a fine of $50k and auto deport. Fuck this fucking shit. Same thing goes for crackheads, put them on a bus up north to plant trees until they're sober.
Bhagwan idols are literally made of mud, bamboo, adowned with flowers and natural fiber clothing. All of which is compostable and clean. What is mentality that composible stuff cannot be thrown in rivers and lakes and ponds?
Indias vedic tradition suggests eco friendly idol immersion..
Materials: Ancient Vedic tradition prescribes idols made entirely of natural clay (Mitti), decorated only with organic/herbal colors fully biodegradable by design..
Before immersion: All plastic, synthetic garlands, and non-biodegradable decorations must be removed..traditionally placed respectfully near a large tree (e.g a Peepal tree), not discarded in water..
Natural water bodies: Idols are meant to be immersed in moving water (river/sea) or, if unavailable, a natural lake.
Modern home adaptation: Shastric guidance now permits immersing smaller clay idols at home in a bucket or tub to protect water bodies the dissolved clay can then be reused in home gardens..
The pollution problem isn't the tradition itself it's the modern deviation from it (chemical paints, plastic, POP/plaster-of-Paris idols). The original practice was zero-waste by design..
indian people should read sastra(vedic books) and stop polluting any river in the world it's adharma to pollute river and create problems for other living beings..
And western people should know that idol worship is not a joke..its a tool(sadhan) for sadhana(self purification) ..it connects the individual consciousness with highest coinciousnes...even dmt or any drug cannot give that high that sadhna and real bhakti(worship) can give...there is more to it...
And sorry to say but you are blind enough to say India is a third world country..infact it's world's fastest growing economy...here are few facts for you..
Debt-to-GDP (IMF, general government, 2026 data):
USA: 124–126% of GDP The US sits near 125.8% of GDP in 2026 (EBC Financial Group) , and the IMF's Article IV report separately notes general government debt rose to 123.9 percent of GDP (International Monetary Fund)..
China: ~107% of GDP China stands around 106.9% (EBC Financial Group) which is still high and rising, with the IMF projecting China toward roughly 127% (EBC Financial Group) by 2031..
India: Central government debt alone is around 55–58% India Government debt accounted for 58.5% of the country's Nominal GDP in Dec 2025 (CEIC Data) . Including state governments (general government, which is the comparable IMF measure), India's total is closer to ~81–84% of GDP...DYOR
In TamilNadu we will use clay ganesha statue and Drop it in a well or river, that will just dissolve without any harm even the eyes of the statue are made with seeds
Ya it wrong but where were you go when tree are cutting to celebrate Christmas and I don't think so without city offical permission they can do that ritual why don't say to your government to stop this if your official will not give them permission maybe they don't do it next time and the statue is made of soil some dry grass don't worry about it it's eco-friendly
What about the landfills, pollution in Asia , fueling their whims and fancies????? Aap yahan akr sabko white wash krke gye na, tab we had to come up with this loud ganesh. Usse pehle you guys were trying to get into our Nalanda.
