Because there are an overwhelming number of immigrants from the same state (or two) in India.

Is this bad due to the hypothetical loss of diversity? ie, it'd be better if there were a mix of Indian, Chinese, Brazilian, Mexican, etc immigrants, vs only immigrants from a single state in India?

It’d be interesting to understand why immigrants to Canada are disproportionately coming from a small number of locations. Unless there’s a good reason behind it I think it’s reasonable to find a better balance.

There is a good reason behind it, although that's not what you are asking. You have framed this under the garb of curiosity and civility, whereas what you are really asking is no different from, "Why are Jews running the banks/Hollywood ?" The real reason, if you really want to know, is that there are strong markets, incentives, pipelines, and networks for certain trades that develop over time. Every trade or craft has these. In case of Canada (and the US to an extent), the international students are the ones subsidizing the universities by paying the sticker price. The universities get the money, and the students get an opportunity to study and work. The students will be mainly from India and China. Those are two large countries with rapid economic growth, ambition, and the ability to pay the price. And language works in favour of Indians. So that's how you get Silicon Valley and perhaps a lot of what you see in Canada too.

Literally can’t think of a single conspiracy theory about why Canada specifically brought people from that region. Seriously unhinged to bring up anti-semitism.

What region ? What are you talking about ? Nobody is bringing anyone from any region. Human beings migrate for better opportunities, and over time groups find their niches and areas of expertise. That manifests as a concentration geographically or professionally as it's a reinforcing loop. That's why group X is dominant in trade Y in city Z.

The reason why there's so many Indians is because THERE'S SO MANY INDIANS! You don't need to be a rocket surgeon to figure that one out =)

The "problem" with having that many Indians isn't that they're not adapting to Canadian culture it's that they're bringing along some of the bad things from India like the caste system. It's not as bad as many other cultural problems because it's strictly Indians causing problems for other Indians but it's still a problem.

What happens in a lot of cases like this is nepotism and lack of need, or even desire, to assimilate to the host country. Things like this are always dismissed the first 20 years, but it always leads to racial and ethnic tensions as time passes. Saying "ummm, like, don't be racist" has never worked.

But when immigrants all come from one small region, they tend to only hire people they know or are vetted by someone they know, they only rent properties to people they know or are vetted by people they know, they start to see the locals of the country they're living in as below them, and it just keeps spiraling out of control.

And notice that I specified no race. I specified no country. I specified no religion or ethnic background. It's simply a universal thing that happens in every country. It always leads to far right swings when not quickly addressed. If what I've said in any way comes across as "racist", that's due to the reader inserting their own racial biases and thus their own racism into this statement, because I'm not in any way implying this is confined to one group. It's something that's been a problem for millennia and governments keep making the same mistakes.

This happens with some races more than others. When you import Indians you are importing caste thinking.

Have you heard of Brampton?

Nope, what's that

Brampton is a suburb of Toronto with a large Indian immigrant population. This is leading to tensions within Brampton as different Indian political factions attempt to influence Indian politics from Canada[1][2][3].
