The Story in Brief
Assam boxer Lovlina Borgohain has said she felt 'hurt' after a map of India at a Glasgow restaurant left out the Northeast. The incident happened when the Indian boxing contingent visited Mister Singh's India, The Home of Curry to celebrate their record 10 medals at the Commonwealth Games 2026. Lovlina, who won silver, pointed out the omission to the management. Boxing Federation of India president Ajay Singh backed her, saying there was no confrontation. The restaurant has since apologised and corrected the map. Times Now reports Lovlina called it 'a very big deal' for her region.
The Indian Opinion
Some call this a minor oversight, but for a region often ignored in national maps, it stings. The restaurant apologised and fixed the map, which is fair. The real test: will other Indian eateries abroad now check their displays? Or will this remain a one-off? The number of similar incidents over the next year will tell us if awareness has truly changed.
