8 years of Modi: Khan Market gang & other terms

First Voice, Last Word

15-07-2022 • 17 mins

2022 marks the year that Narendra Modi completes 20 years in public office and eight years as Prime Minister. On our flagship political podcast First Voice, Last Word, we take a look at how PM Modi has created a new lexicon, that has seeped into everyday language. From terms like Khan Market gang to ecosystem, labarthi, tukde-tukde gang, urban naxals, andolan jeevi. What is the impact of this new language that is being used not just by members of the Modi government but also being subverted by others? We also deal with a basic question- is this unique to Narendra Modi's tenure or do all strong leaders leave behind a legacy of buzzwords? Tune in for all these answers!
