#Watch: How iron-fist North Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain reacts seeing distorted India Map in Glasgow

Glasgow, August 2: While Iron-fist North Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain was cloud nine for her stupendous victory at the Glasglow Commonwealth Games, a distorted India map at an eatery deeply annoyed her.

She could not endure the wall-hanging map with no signs of the incredible Northeast that remained absolutely eliminated.

The moral encounter and controversy erupted following India’s dream run in boxing on Saturday (Aug 1) at the ongoing Commonwealth Games when Lovlina Borgohain, the silver medalist in the women’s 75kg category, flagged the missing Northeast on an Indian map at the Glasgow eatery named with pride as ‘Mister Singh’s India: The Home of Curry’.

The renowned eatery had an Indian map printed on its paper napkins and one outside the establishment, without the Northeast.

The Assamese boxer, who is an Olympic bronze medalist and finished second in the final of the women’s middleweight on Saturday, was left disappointed with the inaccurate Indian map displayed here.

Getting no way out, Lovlina, suppressed her anguish however expressed her disappointment in a viral video on social media.

“Please don’t take this the wrong way. I felt a little hurt by this. In the map of India, our North East is missing. Yes, even outside, the map that’s displayed has cut off the Northeast. As someone from the Northeast, that really hurts us. That’s all I wanted to say. Please keep this in mind next time. Thank you so much,” the Indian boxer said on her post showing nationalistic gesture.

The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) chief Ajay Singh, who was also present at the restaurant, pointed out that parts of Jammu & Kashmir were also misrepresented. He later confirmed the matter was addressed amicably without confrontation.

The restaurant, known for hosting travelling Indian entourages and dignitaries visiting Scotland over the years, did not comment on the matter.
