Comment 1: The news Rami Ranger wins Pride of India award is incorrect. Infact Lord Hameed received this award. This award ceremony was organised by The India International Foundation and not by the High Commission of India in London. I shall be greatly obliged if you kindly provide to me a copy of the press release or any document revealing to you that Rami Ranger wins Pride of India award.
