A London based engineer who was on a Europe tour recently had to face racism in the evilest manner possible. While on the tour, Navjot Sawhney who lives in Briston, U.K. when stopped in Poland for the weekend, and went to a club named Shakers with his friends was attacked by a Bouncer and didn’t allow entry because of his turban.
According to Sawhney, ” While all his friends were allowed in the nightclub, he was the only one who was stopped by the bouncers, and according to bouncers since he was wearing a turban he is a terrorist.”
The matter didn’t end at that point. When Navjot Sawhney tried to end the situation with a handshake, the bouncer punched him in the face and knocked his turban off of his head.
After all the harassment even Polish Police disgusted him by saying, “what do you expect after the Paris attacks,” and that “white people are different from brown people”.
Mr. Sawhney wrote a post on Facebook about this disgraceful incident which was shared by thousands of people around the globe.

Since, the post went viral around the social media, the Polish embassy in UK assured him their support and probe in the matter.
Just few days after the incident, the Shakers nightclub gave a written apology to Sawhney, but there was no strict action taken against the bouncer yet.
Sawhney felt really grateful after receiving support and encouragement from around the world and especially from Polish people after the incident.
