‘Punjab ultra pro max': Viral video shows buffaloes passing through street in Canada, prompts hilarious responses
Spotting a small herd of buffaloes or cows casually moving down the street is hardly a big deal in India. But it is surely something that is bound to grab attention in Canada, that too in a city like Surrey, British Columbia, known for its large South Asian population. A recent Instagram video posted by Kultaran Singh Padhiana (@ shows a herd of buffaloes passing through a neighbourhood in Surrey. Its caption in Punjabi loosely translates to: 'Canadian province of British Columbia, city Surrey. These buffaloes are said to have come free from a nearby farm and entered a residential area.' So far, there is no clarity on who owns the buffaloes or where exactly they came from. And despite the assumptions, there is no confirmation that the animals belonged to any Indian. A post shared by Kultaran Singh Padhiana (@ The clip gained more traction after it was shared by the popular meme page 'Troll Canada.' Adding to the hilarity, the overlay text on the video read, 'Canada vich bhi Gujjar aa gaye lagda (Looks like Gujjars have arrived in Canada too)' – a cheeky nod to Indian pastoral communities. The accompanying caption reads: 'Punjab ultra pro max.' A post shared by 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 (@troll_canadaa_) Naturally, the internet could not hold back and comments soon flooded in. One user wrote, 'It seems like a Gujarat,' while another joked, 'Ab Canada me bhi Scorpio aur Fortuner gadiya ghumegi 'Gurjar' likhi hui. Import krayenge bhaiyee (Now even in Canada, you'll see Scorpio and Fortuner cars roaming around with 'Gurjar' written on them).' A third, more serious, comment read, 'If you treasure your culture, stay in your homeland.' Most netizens, however, responded with laughing emojis and amused takes. Recently, another viral video showed Rahul Chhillar, an Indian student graduating in Canada, walking to the stage to receive his degree where he proudly chanted, 'Bol Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai… Jai Shambhu!' into the microphone.

‘Bol Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai': Indian student's Shiva chant at Canadian graduation goes viral
Graduation ceremonies across the United States of America and Canada are in full swing, and Indian students are making sure their celebrations are both personal and memorable. Among the many convocation videos going viral, one clip from Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Canada is capturing widespread attention on the Internet, and sparking conversation online. Rahul Chhillar, an Indian student graduating from the institution, created a moment during his convocation that many will never forget. As he walked on stage to collect his degree, he turned toward the mic and loudly chanted, 'Bol Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai… Jai Shambhu!' The unexpected chant, an ode to Lord Shiva, took everyone by surprise, especially the faculty on stage. But within seconds, his words echoed back from the audience, with several fellow Indians joining in. A post shared by R A H U L CHHILLAR (@rahulchhillar34) Chhillar shared the video on Instagram on June 21, 2025, and it quickly exploded, racking up over 15.2 million views and 2.6 million likes. Reactions, however, were mixed. Many viewers praised the moment as bold and uplifting, calling it a beautiful expression of faith and identity. One comment said, 'Look how the lady is trying to stop him. She thinks it will embarrass people,' pointing out the reaction of a staff member. Meanwhile, others debated whether a formal academic setting was the right place for such a statement. The comments section lit up with chants of 'Har Har Mahadev' and praises for the student's devotion. For many, it was a moment of pride and joy – a young man honouring his culture at one of the biggest milestones of his life. This isn't the only time an Indian student has gone viral during a graduation this season. Another popular video, from the University of Missouri–Kansas City, featured Dinesh Kyama walking on stage holding up Virat Kohli's No. 18 Test jersey. As his name was called, he proudly raised the jersey to the crowd's cheers before collecting his certificate. The gesture came soon after Kohli had announced his retirement from Test cricket, making the moment emotional for fans.
