Overview
- A Chennai man who posts as Sudharson shared a video Sunday saying he had voluntarily left Canada and returned to India because he felt alone and unhappy.
- The clip quickly went viral on Instagram and drew sharply divided public response with some users praising his choice and others blaming money, impatience, or failure to settle.
- Earlier posts by Sudharson, cited in coverage, said he struggled to find stable work while living abroad, which he framed as part of his decision to go home.
- Commenters varied from people who said India can offer equal happiness without emigrating to those who argued developed‑country benefits require financial stability and patience, and some predicted he might return overseas.
- Journalists say this moment fits a wider trend of young Indian migrants publicly weighing mental health and social ties against financial gains and that ‘self‑deported’ is being used here to mean a personal, voluntary return rather than a formal immigration action.
