University ordered to pay Rs 4.69 crore to Indian Professor, denied appointment : Racism in Britain

Britain’s Labor Arbiter fined Portsmouth University

London (Britain) – An Indian lecturer who had earlier won her case of discrimination on the grounds of race against the University of Portsmouth has been awarded over £450,000 (Rs 4.69 crore) as compensation by an Employment Tribunal in England. Dr Kajal Sharma had won her case back in December 2022 after an Employment Tribunal in Southampton ruled that she had been discriminated against when overlooked for a role as a “visible” member of the university’s ethnic minority staff. Sharma has now been awarded the compensation with the possibility of around £300,000 additionally, based on her pension calculations. Being denied appointment in the reserved group of ethnic minority employees in this university, Dr Sharma had also challenged this decision in the Labor Arbiter in December 2022. At that time she won the case. Yet the University of Portsmouth treated her racially.

White people were appointed to 11 out of 12 seats in this university, while Dr Sharma was denied appointment for the second time. After her father’s death, her superiors did not even allow her to go to India. She was treated with discrimination for 5 years.

Editorial Perspective

If the racial discrimination is still going on in Britain, the whole world must boycott Britain.
