Param Sahib alleged that his "female friends were spoken badly to with a crass attitude from the guy at the counter" of the restaurant.

ASikh man from Delhi alleged he was denied entry to Delhi's We Qutub restaurant due to his religion and the attire he wore.

Param Sahib -- a Sikh -- took to photo-messaging app Instagram and accused restaurant staff of misbehaving with him and his friend on Saturday night.

He wrote in the Instagram post: HI @wequtub, today later in the evening, I along with my friends was not allowed inside the premises on the grounds of being a Sardar and having an untrimmed beard, with a reason saying that I am not cool enough as per the other Hindu gentry."

He alleged that his "female friends were spoken badly to with a crass attitude from the guy at the counter" of the restaurant.

"The guy at the counter said that we do not let Sikh people enter the lounge and that's their motto, to which he later rectified and said that he didn't like my pink shirt," he added.

He said that in the age of an inclusive era, where there are no longer any barriers about human appearances and religious backgrounds, We Qutub and their employees set the lowest bar possible by racially abusing and restricting him and his friends to enter the club...and moreover for being a Sardar.

"After posting the incident on Instagram, now owners are trying to contact us, they are feeling sorry. They also contacted us on Instagram. We are just trying to figure out the middle way for them to apologise... because when we posted it on Instagram, many people sent me messages about similar incidents at We Qutub," Param told IANS.

"The owner is in Dubai he did not bother to say sorry.. he's not even concerned about the incident," he said.

"We asked them to post an official apology and to organise langar for 100 poor kids, we are still in talks with them. I don't want this to happen to anyone anymore. I just want them to stop this," he added.

Later, the restaurant posted a public apology on its Instagram page.

Really ?

Look at that guy and his funky turban (nothing against funky turbans).. and it says right in the OP that the guy's a fashion designer. So a funky fashion designer goes to a highish end place and complains about discrimination.. give me a break !

The guy/people who denied him entry to the joint might well have said something unsavoury but that is only one side of the story. Trust me, I know the city and it's culture quite well.

You can do better, if you must malign India and all the so called hindutva fascism, stick to gau rakshak lynchings, although one could pick holes in a lot of those stories too.

Funky design is not a good enough excuse to deny an entry to a person. Was he naked or violent or a miscreant? though I know people pass comments in subcontinent when they see some one different.

These businesses reserve the right to deny someone in if they feel like it, it's one of those fancy kind of places.

I know so many places where I won't be let in in my usual t-shirt/shorts and chappals.. not a big deal, I'll bet this guy was high AF with an entourage of la dee dahs acting bossy and they told him to gtfo

stick to the gau rakshak formula, guys.. coked out fashion designers throwing hissy fits to get into a place to eat "rosemary truffle fries" is not hindutva fascism

full disclosure: 100% Indian here, a Brahmin even, also voted for Modi Ji.

They current ruling party and its supporter.. RSS Hindutva do not care about Indira Gnadhi and in fact the killer of Gandhi ( her father and founder of India) is the hero for these Hindutva guys.
But they hate all minorities though their prime target is Islam but they hate all other minorities as well be it Christians or Sikhs

Wow, talk about being grossly misinformed !

Indira Nehru "Gandhi" has nothing to do with MK Gandhi.

She married into a Parsi family to a Firoze Gandhy, who, legend says converted to "hinduism" and GandhiJi himself adopted him, or something.

Indira was definitely not Gandhi's daughter though

whatever I don't need to go in the nitty gritty details but I know for sure that she was in congress and all RSS Hindus hate congress and its leadership so the essence of my message is not affected.

Only a crazy restaurant will not give entry to a Sikh in Delhi. They are the biggest spenders and also a pretty large numbers in Delhi. This story would have been more believable in South India where Sikhs are few and far in between. There is more to this story that what is being told.

No one reserves the right to arbitrary racial discrimination. If this becomes the norm then it's the road to hell for any nation.
The fact that you are even attempting to defend this speaks volumes.

It's the Sikh's fault for being a Sikh.
