India map with missing Northeast at UK restaurant leaves Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain 'hurt'
The Indian boxing contingent had visited Mister Singh's India – The Home of Curry following their historic performance at the Games when Lovlina noticed that the map of India printed on the restaurant's napkins.
Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain was upset after a Glasgow restaurant displayed an inaccurate map of India at a celebratory dinner for the Indian boxing team. The map, seen on napkins and outside the restaurant, did not include the Northeastern states of India. Borgohain, representing Assam, expressed her disappointment in a viral video, stating that it hurt her personally as someone from the Northeast.
The Indian Boxing Federation president Ajay Singh and the restaurant's owners apologized, promising to correct the map and display a more accurate representation of India's territories.
