Thank you norway for hosting this summit. It was really great to meet all the lovely people
I used to think Norway was a very modern, fair, and forward-looking country. But after seeing some of the coverage and cartoons about India and Narendra Modi in Norwegian media, I honestly feel disappointed.
At international summits, Modi was one of the most discussed leaders. Many world leaders openly spoke positively about India’s growing role, economy, diplomacy, and influence. Whether people personally like Modi or not, India’s global position today is stronger than before.
That’s why it feels strange to see some Norwegian journalists constantly portray him in such a negative and almost mocking way, often using stereotypes about India that would probably not be accepted if directed at other cultures.
It makes me wonder: does Norwegian society present itself as tolerant and progressive on the surface, while still holding very different attitudes toward non-Western countries underneath?
I’m genuinely asking because this coverage changed my perception of Norway. Curious what Norwegians think about this.
I am very sure the moderator here will surely remove this post but definitely keep post which is anti india
