This week on TV Newsance Gen Z Special, the makers of the Urban Naxal gang, Tukde-Tukde gang, Khan Market gang and Azadi gang have manufactured a shiny new villain: the “Dimaagi Naxal”. Godi anchors from Arnab to Sudhir decode who a “Dimaagi Naxal” is. From writers, professors, economists and artists to journalists, it was a curated hit list of people hailing from intellectual professions – basically anyone with a brain!
Meanwhile, all the Gen Zs, buckle up! From politicians, brands, and godis to Sakshat Modiji, everyone is now desperate and worried about this growing, powerful voting bloc. By 2029, you guys could determine who governs the country.
So, the BJP has assembled a new social media team whose members’ old hateful and communal posts are mysteriously disappearing, while anchors from Arnab Goswami to Sudhir Chaudhary are busy defining the new internal enemy.
This episode also covers: how many shows have Godis done on the actual state of schools in the country? Take a wild guess!
Remember, Gen Zs: language is not the same as listening to you. Going vertical is not change. Saying “rizz”, “pookie” and “delulu” is not change. Change is timely exams, functioning schools, decent jobs and accountability, and we are here to question exactly that and more.
