Key Statement on Trade Independence

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said India will engage in international trade based on free will, not under external pressure.

He stressed that economic transactions with other countries should be voluntary and interest-driven, not dictated by tariff threats or global pressure.

According to him, india cannot remain isolated from the world, but cooperation must protect national economic interests.

He underlined that trade decisions should be guided by self-respect and strategic choice, not compulsion.

View on international Trade Policy

Bhagwat stated that international trade is necessary in today’s interconnected world.

He noted that policy-level changes move gradually and evolve.

Government trade and economic policies adjust step by step rather than instantly.

He implied that india should remain globally engaged while maintaining policy flexibility.

Trade relations should support long-term national strength rather than short-term gains.

Emphasis on Swadeshi at the Domestic Level

He strongly promoted the principle of Swadeshi (indigenous production and consumption).

Said that within the country, priority should be given to locally made goods and services.

Purchases and imports should aim to strengthen India’s internal economy.

Foreign goods should be used only when no viable domestic alternative exists.

Encouraged citizens and institutions to support self-reliance and domestic industries.

Remarks on Tariffs and Decision-Making

Bhagwat clarified that india should not make trade decisions solely based on tariff pressures.

Economic choices should be strategy-based, not reaction-based.

He suggested that tariff wars or pressure tactics should not control national policy direction.

The focus should remain on economic resilience and sovereignty.

Comments on National Identity and Leadership

He said india can become a global leader through conduct and example, not speeches alone.

Emphadata-sized that indians have inherited civilizational skills and strengths.

Described four categories of Hindus in India:

Those who are proud to identify as Hindu.

Those indifferent to Hindu identity.

Those who are hesitant to openly say they are Hindu.

Those who have forgotten or were made to forget their Hindu identity.

Linked cultural confidence with national progress and unity.
