The public's sentiment is overwhelmingly negative, marked by anger, sadness, and skepticism regarding the safety of Indian students in Canada. Many comments express deep concerns over perceived racism, inadequate government responses to violence against minorities, and a growing disillusionment with immigrating to foreign countries. Various commenters voice strong demands for justice and protection for international students while expressing frustration at the failure of authorities to address these issues effectively.

International Student Community

This information is not accurate. We have had several news reports in Indian websites of similar deaths but none of them have a local reporting. No canadian website is reporting this!

I am seeing so many Indian students ending up missing or dead in the country. Does this count for racist violence; as it’s majority of Indian students only. We have other ethnic groups here as well but it always turns out to be one particular race. Adding, the amount of hate towards Indians has increased in large number. Is it even safe in Canada anymore?

Feel very sad about this incident. I feel Indians are the most hated in the world wherever they go. That’s the truth. Even in US, Canada these things happen frequently tells us that Indians need to rethink before taking that flight to these countries. If they do, for gods sake don’t work illegally in stores or some shady places just for that extra $$. If you connect all the cases I bet 60% would working part time!! Stop this shit and only focus on academics. I can understand there are loans and stuff just be prepared before Coming to any international country for that matter. Save and then upskill. Don’t blame loans for everything.

Canada is totally safe! Please come here, all Indians are welcome. You will be welcome with hospitality! If you are from Punjab even better.

She went to look at a room for rent by herself on Friday night, this was so preventable. Use common sense people so it doesn’t end in the unfortunate manner.

Does the International Students sub even have intl students?

The sub is filled with "you know who" supporters. They will chimp around and celebrate if intl students are unfairly deported. But they will keep illegal immigrants to work in their farms and retail sweatshops for 50 cents an hour.

Canada is becoming super bad for immigrants &amp; international students alike.No jobs ,no opportunities,no pr pathway. Don't know why people bother to go there.

No such thing as a stray bullet. It was some sociopathic asshole with zero regard for innocents’ human lives. I do not care if gangsters kill each other, leave the innocent out of your bullshit.

Canada is mad at immigration. Better to stay here right now and let the issue cool down.

Racism may have been the motivation behind the killing on Friday of a young Indian national in a township near the Canadian capital of Ottawa.

While the victim of the stabbing incident has yet to be formally identified, people offering support to his wife in the town of Rockland, Ontario, said he was 27-year-old Dharmesh Kathireeya.

They said that, on Friday afternoon, while exiting a shared laundry room in the building he resided in, he was stabbed by a neighbor, a white male believed to be in his 60s, who had earlier allegedly hurled racial and anti-Indian epithets at the victim and his wife.

Kathireeya, who hailed from Bhavnagar district in Gujarat, came to Canada as an international student in 2019 and was on a work permit.

Don't go to Canada guys, the liberals will allow immigration because they have to show some economic growth but the general sentiment against Indians there is not good. Frankly the migrant population is causing the rent and real estate prices to skyrocket there. So Indians are being blamed for the cost of living crisis.

Affectionate_Bee6434

Sorry to hear and RIP, seemed like a nice person. Hateful, insecure, incompetent racist trash, that’s all that criminal is. And such idiots preach civility to Indian nationals. Standing up headstrong in support of the Indian and South Asian community in Canada. 🇮🇳🇨🇦 I have absolutely zero tolerance towards racism and xenophobia against any community, whatever your race or nationality. Enough is enough, Indian origin Canadians and PRs need to record such incidents, stop being pushed around and report racist asses to the cops, especially the entitled ones who think they own Canada because of the color of their skin and use it as an excuse to harass innocent, legal immigrants particularly from India and the subcontinent. Glad the person is behind the bars and is charged by Ottawa police. Every human has a right to be treated with dignity and feel safe in Canada.

Very weird response to a hate crime in the comments. Other people would start grouping up but we indians are like "bUt InDiA bAD". This is why everybody continues to fuck us over.

Can happen anywhere. You have racist nuts everywhere. Several years ago, an Indian student in Australia was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver. Pretty cruel.

What is Canada government doing for justice?,

ZAsunny

Westerners are civilized, right? They are civilized only in social media.  In reality they are filthy and arrogant entitled pricks.

That's sad to hear.I hope they get prosecuted.Deranged criminals are present everywhere.But I hope this doesn't discourage students from moving to Canada.Its still one of the best places to live.Yes the cost of living is high,but you will earn a lot more.There are more sucess stories than otherwise.Unless people move back to India in droves don't believe hypocrites living in Canada ask Indians to stay back

In the larger scheme of mass immigration, such tragedies are small but big shame

stop moving outside

Indians aren't safe in the west

I am fed up with daily Posts of Indians caring about what is happening in canada rather than what is happening in india, we shouldn't care for Indians who left india behind they don't care for u, I bet they don't even watch Indian news and even if they hear something about murder or rape (isliyea toh india chora tha) .

Well, all the hate was going to materialize somewhere. Sad

I like to call this problem "Too Many Indians" which occurs as a result of mass migration to a country following one community success story. 

Now, with an ever growing population and lack of opportunities in this country, more and more people will migrate, full up a country with our cultural events and sights, earn the ire of local residents and hear news stories like these.

Also, we're easy to be targeted because of our collective lack of changing according to the country of migration. So, we're outcasts anyway. 

Well, time has caught up, as names and people, it's sad. But as a anthropology student - it's a trend I'm quite fascinated by. 

Canada bas jhaanki hai.... Puri duniya baaki hai.

While most Indian outlets might be quick to jump in with the racism angle, I wouldn't rule out the accused being on drugs. Or a general disagreement. 



Any loss of life is a very tragic. I hope the victim gets justice. I know the accused has been caught.


PS: To expect sense and nuance from people and I keep getting disappointed. There is literally not a single news article that said the victim was killed/attacked because of being an Indian. That is the definition of a racist attack.

If you have immigrated from India, it can only mean you failed to make it in India. Why would any Indian want to go the Canada, you lose your culture, your friends, your family. India is such a wonderful vibrant place, (apart from the traffic, pollution and corruption, but I still love it. Jah Hind

Even_Perspective3826

There was no malice here. She was caught in the fire. Stop spreading these headlines which indirectly potray as if she was killed because she was an indian in canada. It does no one any benefit. 

You didn't post when an indian died in Uganda

KaaleenBaba

Why are people arguing if it was meant for her or not ?.
So someone crashes a car into you and says "sry man didn't mean to hit you" , it's suddenly fine ? What the hell ?
..
Yeah I get the her getting shot was an accident due to carelessness, and I thought that was a crime ?
