The Northeast has been omitted from India’s map, sparking uproar! The shameful act of Mr. Singh’s India restaurant in Glasgow.

Glasgow Restaurant Controversy: An Indian restaurant in Glasgow has become embroiled in controversy after Indian athletes who performed exceptionally well at the Commonwealth Games were invited to dinner. The restaurant, named “Mr. Singh India – The Home of Curry,” provided the athletes with napkins bearing an outline map of India. Olympic bronze medalist boxer Lovlina Borgohain immediately expressed her displeasure when she noticed that the map did not fully depict the country’s Northeast region.

Borgohain told IANS, “The map on the napkin does not include our Northeast. Every part of India is important and should be shown on the map.” Boxing Federation of India (BFI) President Ajay Singh supported the star boxer and pointed out other significant errors on the napkin, including an incomplete map of Jammu and Kashmir.

Appeal to remove the wrong napkins

Singh urged the restaurant management to immediately remove the wrong napkins and correct the map to reflect India’s full territorial integrity. However, the restaurant has not yet issued an official statement on this matter.

“Mr. Singh India” is a popular dining destination in Glasgow, frequented by sports teams and dignitaries. For over three decades, the restaurant has served Glasgow a family story blending Punjabi heritage and Scottish spirit.

The restaurant is three decades old

Run by four generations of the Singh family, this restaurant offers a blend of Punjabi culinary heritage and Scottish influences through its food, hospitality, and community. It offers a dining experience that reflects the cultural exchanges that have shaped the city over the past three decades.
