‘Dimaagi Naxal'- Most malicious label yet by Modi | LME 156 | Pooja Prasanna

Описание: Democratic debate relies on the freedom to disagree. From the freedom struggle to the framing of our Constitution, questioning those in power was never seen as a threat, it was celebrated as the ultimate patriotic duty. But over the years, the question has changed: has dissent itself been transformed into an enemy category? Today, political labeling has evolved into a dangerous new tool.

Moving past 'Urban Naxal' and 'Andolanjeevi', the latest label is the 'Dimaagi Naxal', a tag that shifts suspicion from a citizen's physical actions to their internal thoughts. By branding critics as having "dangerous minds" and dismissing student protests as "brainwashing," this strategy delegitimizes genuine grievances and creates an atmosphere of permanent suspicion.
So what happens when a democracy starts policing how its citizens think? How do these broad, undefined labels turn ordinary people into "internal enemies"? Pooja Prasanna explains in this week’s Let Me Explain.
