An Indian restaurant in Glasgow has apologised and agreed to correct a map of India displayed on its premises after Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain raised concerns that it omitted the country’s Northeast.
The issue came to light during a celebratory dinner hosted for the Indian boxing team at Mister Singh’s India, The Home of Curry, following the team’s record-breaking performance at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Borgohain, who is from Assam and won a silver medal in Glasgow, said she noticed that the map printed on the restaurant’s napkins and displayed outside the premises did not include India’s Northeast and showed Kashmir incorrectly. She said she immediately brought the matter to the attention of the restaurant’s management.
According to Borgohain, the restaurant apologised after the issue was raised and assured the Indian contingent that the map would be corrected.
In a video shared on social media, the 2021 Olympic bronze medallist said the omission was personally upsetting because she comes from the Northeast.
“As someone from the North East, that really hurts us. Please keep this in mind next time,” she said.
Boxing Federation of India President Ajay Singh said the matter was resolved amicably and there was no confrontation with the restaurant owners.
“There was no confrontation. It was an aberration and we pointed that out. They accepted their mistake and assured us that it will be corrected,” Singh said.
The restaurant is a popular Indian dining venue in Glasgow and has previously hosted visiting sports teams and dignitaries.
The Indian boxing team enjoyed its most successful Commonwealth Games campaign, winning 10 medals, including seven golds and three silvers. Team members visited the restaurant to celebrate the achievement before the map issue was brought to the management’s attention.
