Modi's remarks were made during a meeting with the Commonwealth champions after their return from Scotland.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently praised boxer Lovlina Borgohain for her objection to a distorted Indian map displayed at a restaurant in Glasgow during the 2026 Commonwealth Games. The incident occurred after the Commonwealth Games, as Lovlina was celebrating her victory at the restaurant with the Indian boxing team. Mr. Modi remarked on her thoughtful gesture, stating that it was a significant moment given the recent triumphs of the athletes.
The Assam native noticed the oversight when looking at the restaurant's menu and politely informed the staff about the incorrect representation of the Northeast region in the map. She expressed her hurt at not seeing her region represented and requested the restaurant to rectify the error. Following the incident, the Indian embassy in Glasgow reached out to the establishment, and the restaurant soon issued an apology, stating they would change the map on their logo.
The Prime Minister's commendation of Lovlina's action highlighted the importance of acknowledging and correcting geographic inaccuracies, even in casual settings like restaurants.
