anti-national
Opposed to homeland
Anti-national describes a person, group, or action considered opposed to the interests or unity of one's nation.
The term carries strong political weight, particularly in countries like India, where it functions as a serious accusation against those perceived to threaten national security or sovereignty.
Critics argue the label is often weaponized to silence dissent or marginalize minority viewpoints.
The government branded the protesters as anti-national.
She rejected claims that criticizing policy was anti-national.
