<a></a> Anger Over Racism Claims
Updated: 13:22, Wednesday January 17, 2007

Indian protesters have started burning effigies in the street over the Celebrity Big Brother reality television show.

The programme sparked controversy after claims that housemates were racially abusing an Indian contestant.

Reports of the alleged mistreatment of Bollywood starlet Shilpa Shetty, 31, ran on the front pages of several Indian newspapers.

The top story on television news in the country repeatedly showed clips from the show of the weeping actress.

India's government also plans to protest with British authorities over the 'abuse', an official said.

"We are awaiting a report about the show. The government will take appropriate measures once it gets to know the full details," said Anand Sharma, India's junior minister for external affairs.

Speaking in New Delhi, he said India has consistently opposed racism and discrimination around the world.

"Racism has no place in civilized society," he added.

Ah right, thanks James
Wow this is getting out of hand, it's kinda surreal how fast this is spreading around the world, and how big this problem has turned out to be. I hope Jade doesn't plan to take a holiday to India anytime soon

They would if they could!

They have probably been told to not say anything. If they do, they will be sacked

thats true too, but anyone who has come on their shows and expresses something that doesn't meet their/endamols ideology, they brush it off. I understand they might not be able to say anything, but don't belittle someone elses opinion.


Im sure the Brits won't be hated upon
