Meaning of deracine?
In this excerpt from an article authored in India, deracine (spelt
with too many acute accents to my eye) means self-hating, so to speak.
Citizens pejoratively called deracine have their hearts displaced from
India, not their bodies, as per their critics.
<<The most tragic aspect of the situation is that some of the most
vocal déraciné citizens of India, who are denouncing it, refuse to
look to examples of how other nation’s actually control their own
narrative and destiny.>>

Is this an acceptable use/ meaning of deracine outside India?
The dictionary says it means "displaced person"
