Britain’s Royal Mail will reportedly compensate a Hindu mail manager around £200,000 after a tribunal found that he had faced harassment and discrimination at work.
A coworker called the Hindu manager, Mathan Shunmugaraja, a “sly dog,” while mistaking him for a Muslim, in a dispute over using a room at the Cardiff Royal Mail center, The Guardian reported.
Shunmugaraja used to conduct work-related meetings in a room one of his Christian colleagues, Adam Day, used to pray in, according to the Daily Mail.
Day interrupted one of Shanmugaraja’s meetings and said that since he didn’t use the “Muslim prayer room” for work, Shunmugaraja shouldn’t use his, the Daily Mail reported.

Over the course of the 19th century, people around the world were fascinated by dinosaurs and their fossilized bones that kept popping up. But no one seemed more obsessed than American paleontologists Edward Cope and O.C. Marsh, and the rivalry between the two men became a stain on paleontology s history for decades after their deaths.
Although the two men are responsible for discovering and naming countless different types of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, they re also responsible for destroying an unknowable amount of the fossil record. And they did this solely to keep the other one from getting it. And in the interest of putting out as much of their own research as possible, both men published research that would be riddled with errors. Some of their mistakes plagued paleontology for years,
