Glasgow restaurant deletes Instagram account after Lovlina Borgohain flags 'incomplete' India map
Days after apologising to boxer Lovlina Borgohain over a napkin design that left out India's North East, a Glasgow restaurant frequented by the Commonwealth Games-winning Indian boxing contingent quietly wiped its Instagram account.
Glasgow restaurant Mister Singh's India removed its Instagram account following criticism over a map of India displayed on a napkin during a visit by the country's boxing team. The map omitted the North Eastern states, which Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain pointed out in a video that went viral. The restaurant apologized and promised to redesign its logo, but shortly after the statement, its Instagram handle disappeared. The incident reignited debates about the North East's representation in media and depictions of India.
