The #DefenceTravelSystem is becoming a textbook example of how public money gets wasted in the name of “control.” A flight from Leh to Pune on 23 May is being booked through DTS at ₹41,529, while cheaper options are available in the market for nearly ₹30,000. That’s an extra ₹11,000+ wasted on just ONE officer, ONE journey. Now multiply this across thousands of defence personnel travelling every single day. The excess payout alone could easily cross ₹100+ crore annually. And this is apart from: • Massive yearly maintenance cost of the DTS platform itself • Salaries and manpower diverted just to process ticket bookings • 10000 Soldiers being reduced to clerical staff instead of operational duties The irony? We keep hearing there’s “no budget” for critical requirements like bulletproof jackets, modern equipment, or troop welfare. Yet hundreds of crores are comfortably burned every year on a broken travel booking ecosystem. What makes it worse is the complete lack of choice and convenience for soldiers. In this case, personnel are being pushed toward a costlier SpiceJet ticket while cheaper options from IndiGo or Air India are available. Why should a soldier deployed in Leh struggle for something as basic as booking a flight home? Trust the armed forces. Allow open market booking. Reimburse transparently. Stop forcing an expensive, outdated system on soldiers just to justify its existence. @DefenceMinIndia @rajnathsingh @PMOIndia @narendramodi @HQ_IDS_India @adgpi @IAF_MCC @SpokespersonMoD

India really needs a civic sense movement. The incident at Delhi Metro where an elderly man reportedly urinated inside a lift is severely unacceptable and deserving of penalty under public nuisance laws. Civilised societies should punish misconduct in real time!

Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng Svends @HelleLyngSvends has become a growing embarrassment for Norway’s citizens and our Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre @jonasgahrstore . What should have been a proud moment for Norway @norwaymfa hosting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi @PMOIndia @narendramodi for the first time in 43 years, awarding him the country’s highest civilian honor, signing a Green Strategic Partnership with 12 new agreements on clean energy, sustainability, health tech, digital cooperation, and trade was instead hijacked by her personal grandstanding and turned into an international spectacle that makes Norway look rude, entitled, and diplomatically clumsy.This wasn’t a full open press conference. It was a joint statement session with clear protocols. Modi followed standard procedure for such high-level bilateral visits: brief remarks, handshake, and exit. Yet Helle positioned herself as the hero, later tweeting that Modi “would not take my question” while waving the World Press Freedom Index (Norway #1, India #157). She framed it as brave journalism. Most Norwegians see it as embarrassing performative activism that damages our national interests.Norway’s relationship with India matters. We are building real partnerships in the green transition exactly the kind of cooperation Norwegians expect from our government. Billions in potential investments, jobs, technology sharing, and climate goals. Modi’s visit was substantive diplomacy. Instead of highlighting these achievements, the global narrative became “Modi dodges questions in free Norway” thanks to Helle’s viral 16-second clip. This helps no one except her personal brand.Real journalism holds power to account, but there’s a time, place, and manner. Ambushing a foreign head of government during a state visit on Norwegian soil, in front of our own Prime Minister, crosses into disrespect. It signals to the world that Norway cannot host important partners without turning events into awkward confrontations. What message does this send to leaders from Germany, the US, China, or Saudi Arabia? Come to Oslo at your own risk?Helle’s approach reflects poorly on Norwegian citizens who value pragmatism, politeness, and results over viral outrage. Many of us are cringing. We pay taxes for competent foreign policy, not for journalists to chase personal clout at the expense of our Prime Minister’s hard work. Støre stood there politely while our guest was effectively ambushed. This undermines the goodwill built over months of preparation.The World Press Freedom Index she brandished is published by Reporters Without Borders — an NGO with its own biases, selective sourcing, and inconsistencies. India is the world’s largest democracy with a raucous, competitive media landscape. Modi has been elected multiple times by 1.4 billion people. He chooses his communication style Mann Ki Baat, controlled interviews, direct voter outreach and has stuck to it for over a decade. That’s his prerogative as India’s leader. Norway’s press norms do not dictate how foreign elected leaders behave on our soil. By shouting during a joint briefing and then spinning the walk-off as cowardice, Helle ignored the substance: cultural exchanges, economic deals, shared Arctic and Indo-Pacific interests. She made it about “her question.” This self-centered stunt fuels stereotypes of arrogant Europeans lecturing the Global South. India is a rising superpower and vital partner, not some dictatorship to be publicly shamed. Her actions risk harming Norway’s reputation as a serious, respectful actor on the world stage.Norwegians pride ourselves on being practical and solution-oriented. We understand that diplomacy requires tact. Shouting at guests during photo-ops achieves nothing constructive. If Helle has legitimate concerns about press freedom in India, there are better forums: op-eds, interviews with Indian journalists, or private diplomatic channels. Turning a bilateral summit into her personal protest makes Norway look unserious and weakens Støre’s position.This incident highlights a deeper issue with parts of legacy Norwegian media: more activism than balanced reporting. Many citizens already distrust mainstream outlets for prioritizing ideology and clicks over national interests. Helle’s behavior reinforces that skepticism. She is becoming a symbol of why some Norwegians roll their eyes at Dagsavisen commentators more focused on international virtue-signaling than serving Norwegian readers or advancing pragmatic foreign policy. PM Støre deserves better. His government invested time and resources to strengthen ties with India at a time when energy security, green tech, and diversified partnerships are critical. Helle’s grandstanding risks poisoning the atmosphere for future cooperation. Indian officials and citizens noticed. The replies to her post were filled with Indians pointing out the format was never a full Q&A, questioning why a Norwegian journalist feels entitled to hijack their PM’s visit.We should expect more from our journalists. Question leaders yes. But do it professionally, not by turning important state visits into cringe-worthy viral moments that embarrass the host nation. Norway’s citizens want a media that informs, not one that performs. We want a Prime Minister who can deliver results without his events being derailed by ego.Helle Lyng Svends is increasingly becoming an embarrassment not just for herself, but for all of us who value Norway’s reputation as a competent, respectful country. It’s time for reflection in Norwegian media circles: Is this the image we want the world to see? A nation of serious partners or lecturing activists chasing likes? Enough with the stunts. Focus on the deals that actually benefit Norwegians energy, jobs, technology, and a stable world order. Our Prime Minister and our country deserve diplomacy that works, not viral embarrassment.

One of my favorite quirks of "secular left" intellectual culture in India is that the same people who rail against the evils of "Brahminism" are quickest to parade their credentials as a priori evidence of superior qualifications, regardless of the argument. plus ca change, I guess
Samyak Ghosh 🌈@GhoshSamyak

One of the worst predicaments of being a professional historian today is that you are expected to engage with this mediocrity. The Print has a habit of publishing pieces that no respectable scholar in the field will even read. Not surprised they carried this to create some noise!

@grok @GhoshSamyak @Schandillia @vikramsampath Only an unqualified ignorant bogus pretence academic will first of all use emojis as argument and second have the monumental arrogance in ignorance such as you. You're an unqualified scam to academia and any institution you could be affiliated to. Run along

Dhruv Rathee called the story of Prophet Muhammad false. Will muslims accept it? Because they believe that everything Dhruv Rathee says is true.

This is exactly the kind of incitement that led to the anti-Hindu Delhi riots of 2020, in which, @pbhushan1 took part. The initial conspiracy meeting of the violence was held at his residence. I hope @CellDelhi is taking note. opindia.com/2023/12/delhi-…

Why do we need to revisit Mughal legacy? Was Akbar ‘great’? Do Indian historians subject ‘Hindu kings’ to the same scrutiny as Mughals? Listen to Dr @vikramsampath answer all this and more, after his excellent piece today has opened a Pandora’s box. 8:30 pm #TheBuckStopsHere

This is 100% true: The media in India is in a miserable place, trapped between coercion, censorship and corruption.Yes, it is our job to question power. In the spirit of questioning, though, I think it's worth asking how robust and true these dog-show type rankings are 1/n
