"Modi has not done a single press conference in 12 years."
So what?
Not taking questions from the press is not some moral crime in itself. The media is not a council of high priests conducting a legitimacy exam that every Prime Minister must clear for democratic certification.
In a democracy, legitimacy comes from public mandate and governance, not from standing before cameras to satisfy a section of the media that mistakes access for accountability.
As such, today's media ecosystem is not some sacred, neutral institution operating above politics. Much of it is deeply polarized. Different political camps have their favorite journalists, narratives, and ecosystems. Questions are designed less to seek answers and more to manufacture headlines, extract viral moments, or build personal brands.
And those who hold frequent press conferences are not automatically standing on higher moral ground either. We have all seen planted easy questions from pliable journalists and difficult questions brushed aside with “aap rival party ki bhasha mat boliye,” deflections, or outright evasions.
The number of press conferences a leader does is not a certificate of transparency. Otherwise, by that logic, Trump, who interacts with the press almost daily, should automatically be considered the most transparent, most democratic, and the finest leader in the world.

This is racism. In extremely poor taste.

This cartoon, which I assumed wrongly was from some cheap tabloid but was published in Aftenposten, Norway's largest newspaper and "paper of record", isn't a great advertisement of supposedly superior journalistic standards.

SHOCKING : ⚠️
Hindus are organizing to immerse the largest Ganesh idol ever seen in North America into Niagara Falls on May 30.
Indians don’t see any problem with dumping a massive plastic painted statue into into the Niagara Falls
Will there also be a cow poop party too?

disgusting mentality

Terrible journalist. No basic manners. She probably came for just two minutes of fame. No wonder even the Prime Minister of Norway ignored her drama.

Full blown clash at MEA presser as reporter asks "why should India be trusted". MEA's Secy West @AmbSibiGeorge responds by India's role in providing global help during Covid, India's constitution, fundamental rights. The reporter leaves the presser, then later comes back.

This isn’t satire. It’s recycled colonial stereotyping masquerading as journalism.
The same outdated clichés about India from people who preach tolerance and diversity.
India’s rise clearly makes some uncomfortable.
Criticism is fair. Racism is not.
Have some class. This is pathetic and deeply disrespectful.

Whoa! Helle Lyng follows no other political party except Indian National Congress on Instagram. Not even any Norwegian party, the country she belongs to.
Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai? @RahulGandhi

Shocking. Racist. Derogatory.
Norway’s largest broadsheet newspaper Aftenposten brazens it out with a shocking cartoon depicting Indian PM @narendramodi as a Snake Charmer with the headline: “A sneaky and slightly annoying man”.
They can’t digest India’s rise and success. Pity!

@sidhant We seriously need a dedicated Ministry for India’s global image

The racism is disgusting, and outrage is justified. But India also needs to understand the global image battle. Countries like China aggressively shape their international perception, while India often lets the internet be flooded with the same negative visuals and narratives — many amplified by anti-India networks based abroad. Most Indians overseas adapt remarkably well and contribute positively, especially in places like the US and UK. But yes, a section of migrants also needs to understand that behavior acceptable back home may create backlash abroad — whether it’s public nuisance, loud music, or polluting spaces in the name of religion. India needs a far stronger soft-power strategy: media outreach, cultural branding, diaspora engagement, and active countering of racist propaganda online.
