New Delhi RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Friday that people (in the US) are afraid of what will happen to them if India becomes strong, which is why tariffs are being imposed.
Without naming any country, Bhagwat said such steps are taken by those who always want to remain in the spotlight. Bhagwat made these remarks at the 7th foundation day of Brahmakumari World Peace Sarovar in Nagpur.
In fact, Trump had announced a 25% tariff on India on July 30. It came into effect on August 7. Additionally, a 25% extra tariff was imposed on India for buying Russian oil, which came into effect from August 27.
Trump had said that India is buying cheap oil from Russia and selling it in the open market. This is helping Putin continue the war against Ukraine.
Bhagwat said – The world must understand ‘us’ by leaving ‘me’ Bhagwat further said that until humans understand their true nature, they and countries will continue to face problems. He said that if we show compassion and overcome fear, we will have no enemies.
Today the world is searching for solutions, but due to its incomplete vision, it is unable to find a way forward. Because of their self-centered perspective, it is impossible for them to find a path.
Bhagwat said – India is capable of showing the way forward The RSS chief said that India is a great nation and Indians should also strive to become great. He said India is big but it wants to become even bigger.
Indians have a strong sense of belonging. Even in difficulty and sorrow, people here remain content because of this very sense of belonging.
Bhagwat’s Message
Mohan Bhagwat said in clear words that these tariffs are proof of India’s capability. When a country begins to appear as a threat to others, such steps are taken against it. Bhagwat says that tariffs imposed out of fear are a sign of India’s progress, not weakness.
Global Trade and India’s Strategy
In international trade, tariffs and import-export policies are often part of political and economic strategies. Developed countries often resort to such policies to curb emerging economies. But India has tried to reduce this pressure by strengthening its domestic market and emphasizing technological innovations.
India’s capabilities in energy, IT, pharma, and manufacturing are being discussed globally. In this context, Bhagwat’s statement can be seen as a symbol of India’s self-reliance and confidence.
Message for the Public
Bhagwat’s statement not only underscores India’s position internationally but also delivers an inspirational message for the country’s people. It emphasizes that we must continue to focus on self-reliance and domestic production. This will not only strengthen India’s economic condition but also position the country as a decisive power on the global stage.
Mohan Bhagwat’s statement that “tariffs were imposed on India out of fear” highlights the realities of global trade politics. It is proof that India is now an emerging power that is not easy to stop. In the coming times, India will play an even stronger role on the world stage through its economic and political strength.
