And a 19-year-old journalist asked why Narendra Modi hasn't done a press conference since 2014, at which point Narendra Modi, like all good democratic leaders, walked out.
leaving the head of the Ministry of External Affairs to give this 19-year-old journalist, who was basically, I think, it was probably her first press conference.
She was just looking for some viral clips.
And she basically said, why doesn't Narendra Modi do press conferences?
What will India do for rights of minorities?
I think she just wanted some coverage.
And an Indian uncle just basically gave her a three-hour lecture on why India is great.
And I realized that after this, I think all Indians just basically realized the moment...
you bring up India in any context.
Like, hey, I was in Delhi and this kebab roll was really spicy.
An Indian uncle will just take that as a personal affront on a 2,000-year-old civilization.
And then this little girl got trolled.
Lots of people jumped on social media saying India's great, India's this.
She's like, I'm not interested, man.
I just asked him why there's no press freedom.
And just goes to show, I don't think we can take criticism at all.
Not well, not at all.

Because the first way they reacted to this young Norwegian woman was to say she's a spy.
But then they couldn't figure out who she'd be a spy for.
