Dejana Radanovic had criticised the “food, traffic and hygiene” of India

Serbian tennis participant Dejana Radanovic, who was in India not too long ago as a part of three International Tennis Federation tournaments, is going through backlash for her racist feedback about India.

In a series of social media posts, Radanovic criticised the “food, traffic and hygiene” of India.

In certainly one of her posts, Radanovic, who spent almost two weeks within the nation, wrote, “Adios India. See you never ever ever ever EVER again,” together with a picture of the airport.

Upon reaching Munich, Radanovic shared one other put up that learn, “Hello civilization. Only those who have experienced something like India for 3 weeks can understand the feeling.”

About the site visitors she wrote, “But I gotta admit that they’re wonderful drivers and site visitors was attention-grabbing generally. You could by no means understand how your day will seem like, what will occur and everyone seems to be honking on a regular basis, like in site visitors rush sport.” 

Amidst mounting backlash about the posts, Radanovic has shared another Instagram Stories update, seemingly explaining her stance. Radanovic has maintained that her comments were not about the people of India but about the country and therefore, cannot be called racist.

She wrote, “Omg can’t believe what things we need to talk about really. I didn’t like India – the country. I didn’t like the food, traffic, hygiene (worms in the food, yellow pillows and dirty bed linen in the hotel, not knowing how to use a roundabout etc.)

Further, Radanovic wrote, “If you come to my country, Serbia, and you don’t like all those same things, that means you are a racist??? What the hell does that have to do with racism?! I have friends of all nationalities and colours so don’t go there cause it’s an absolute NONSENSE!”

Radanovic, 27, participated in three W50 occasions in Pune, Bengaluru, and Indore throughout her Indian tour.
