Does the West Still See India as a Land of Superstition?

Описание: In today’s episode of ‘Deshkaal’, senior journalist Mukesh Kumar takes a closer look at a debate that has sparked strong reactions online. Why did a Norwegian newspaper publish a cartoon of Narendra Modi that portrays India as a backward nation? Does the Western world still view India through the lens of superstition and outdated stereotypes?

And the bigger question — has the political messaging, symbolism, and narrative pushed over the last 12 years contributed to this global perception of India? From “Vishwaguru” claims to debates around science, tradition, and image-building, this discussion explores how India is being seen internationally and whether the government itself bears some responsibility.

This is not just about one cartoon — it’s about India’s global image, media perception, soft power, and the clash between nationalism and international opinion. Watch this thoughtful and conversational analysis only on Deshkaal.
