UK: After receiving criticism for making a racial remark about Indians at the 2022 British Curry Awards last month, a British businessman has apologised. Ranj Singh, a physician and well-known television host, confronted him.
Ranj Singh had tweeted, “Paraphrased slightly, but this is a joke made on stage at the @BritCurryAwards by a white person tonight: ‘Why has India never won the World Cup? Because every time they get a corner, they build a shop on it.’ I’m sorry but how is this OK?”

“I was really honoured to be a guest at the British Curry Awards and had a wonderful evening with a bunch of like-minded hard-working entrepreneurs doing good work for charity. I didn’t mean to cause offence with anything I said and if I did I very much regret that.”
The remarks were also criticised by the British Curry Awards organisers. “The British Curry Awards is committed to representing the British Asian community in the UK,” they stated in a statement to Metro.
“We do not condone the remarks made by one of the attendees during the ceremony. Staff within curry restaurants around the UK have endured this type of well-intentioned and poorly received humour for many decades.”
The organisers expressed “We hope this unfortunate situation will promote the conversation on how much progress we have made and will continue to make as a nation.”
