Anurag Kashyap suggests therapy after PM Modi’s ‘dimagi Naxal’ remark

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'dimagi Naxal' remark, made during his Independence Day speech at the Red Fort. Kashyap wrote on social media that older politicians do not understand today's youth, and using the "dimagi Naxal" label is like invoking a brahmastra. He suggested that young people need education, critical thinking, and even therapy, not political branding.

In a follow-up Instagram Story, Kashyap noted the lack of trolls on his post, which he attributed to the government's IT cell facing financial trouble. He quipped that they might need to borrow more from the World Bank.

In his August 15 address, PM Modi warned about 'dimagi Naxals' inside power structures who promote violence and anarchy. He said they must be identified and isolated to steer youth toward India's development goals.
