Internet reacts to his Canada remark
While some users supported Sudharson’s decision, others said moving abroad comes with its own set of struggles and requires patience. One user wrote, “India is more your pace. You didn’t want to work, tried get rich quick schemes, and failed. If you had actually stuck with the jobs you had, you could have made it in Canada. But that kind of life isn’t for everyone. India should be easier for you. Good luck!”
Another person related to his experience and said, “I am also coming back to India bro.” A third user agreed with his comment about Canada and wrote, “It’s a 100% depressing country, no doubt, lol. Soon I’ll be leaving too, lol. Just waiting for that day.”

Several others praised his move, with one comment reading, “You made the best decision, bro. Even Canadian citizens wish they could leave Canada. You’re lucky that you can leave freely.” Another user offered a different perspective and said, “It’s depressing if you don’t have money. But to enjoy the luxury of clean air and abundant water in Canada, you have to sacrifice a few things. Kudos to you, bro.”
One more user summed up their approval by commenting, “That’s the best thing you’ve ever done.”
