June 9, 2014 | By Parmjeet Singh

London, Punjab (June 09, 2014): A British Sikh has been awarded over £18,000 as compensation by a Scottish tribunal for being degraded and racially abused by his Muslim boss and colleagues at work.

Paramjit Singh, a forecourt cleaner at a garage in Greenock, Scotland, was called a “lazy low-caste Sikh” and forced to repeatedly carry out demeaning tasks. He was also abused for having a white British wife, with one co-worker saying: “I don’t know how you can stay with a white woman. They’re not clean and they don’t know how to live,” the Scottish Herald reported.
