To express severe disapproval or negative judgment.
Contexto cultural
Hindi news channels frequently use 'Kadi Ninda' and 'Kadi Aalochana' to the point of them becoming memes. It reflects a culture of high-decibel political debate. Criticism (Aalochana) is considered a high art form in Hindi literature. Great critics like Namvar Singh are as famous as novelists. In modern Indian offices, 'Aalochana' is being replaced by the English word 'Feedback', but 'Kadi Aalochana' is still used when someone is being officially reprimanded. Directly criticizing an elder is culturally taboo. One would use much softer language than 'Kadi Aalochana' in a family setting.
