RSS Mouthpiece 'Organiser' Expands 'Dimagi Naxal' Label to NGOs and Bureaucracy

RSS-affiliated weekly 'Organiser' has broadened its use of the term 'dimagi Naxal' in a recent editorial, applying it beyond armed rebels to include NGOs, bureaucrats, academics, media, and legal institutions. The editorial cited the National Advisory Council (NAC) as a prime example of what it described as a takeover by this ideological variant. It argued that as armed Naxal movements have largely failed, a more intellectual or institutional form of the same ideology has gained influence. According to the publication, infiltrating policy machinery, academia, and civil society forms part of what it called a 'revolutionary strategy'. The editorial reflects a widening of the ideological critique being advanced by sections of the Hindu nationalist movement against certain institutions.
