"Deport them all. Identify them and cancel their visas."
A viral video showing Sydney’s Desi community turning a metro carriage into a dance floor has divided opinion on social media.
The clip showed a packed carriage and in the middle was a man playing music on portable DJ decks. Complete with speakers, the equipment was housed in a shopping trolley.
Members of the group were loudly singing to Imran Khan’s 2009 hit song ‘Bewafa’.
The video shows people dancing and cheering inside the carriage. Some onlookers appear impressed by the upbeat energy, while others look visibly uncomfortable.
In the comments sections, it was revealed that it was after a Diljit Dosanjh concert.
The scene reflected exactly how the reaction unfolded online: sharply divided.
Some slammed the behaviour and said the group ignored basic public etiquette.
One person wrote: “No one should be doing this s**t on the train! It’s disrespectful towards people who just want peace and quiet on their way home from work!”
Another criticised what they described as “Zero civic sense”, arguing that such antics belonged in clubs. Their comment added: “Sure they won’t do this in India.”
One user, who identified as Indian, said they felt embarrassed:
“As an Indian, I am truly sorry to see such behavior… Why do we Indians always seem to give others grounds to form negative opinions about us?”
There were also reactions with racial overtones, as one comment read:
“Buddy… this is not India… so stop behaving like this.
“And this is not what you call enjoyment. It is called harassment because of some Indian people.”
One person wrote: “Deport them all. Identify them and cancel their visas. Get these pajeets out of my country.”
Another posted: “Imagine the smell.”
But others defended the moment and called it harmless.
One user asked:
“Why doesn’t this ever happen to me? I would be so down to dance with them.”
Another added: “I wish they had DMed me first… I would have joined them.”

Other comments echoed the split reaction, as one said:
“This is normal in New York City. I don’t see the problem.”
Another remarked: “This is fun! Get with it, guys and gals! If it were English music blaring… no one would say a thing!!”
A third joked: “That’s why I never wanted to be a DJ.”
But one user disagreed and argued for boundaries, writing: “There is a time and place for this – certainly not on public transport.”
The clip has become the latest flashpoint in a wider debate about desi conduct overseas. For some, the video represents joy and community. For others, it highlights a lack of courtesy in shared public spaces.
