The economic wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has called on the Indian government to resist U.S. Tariff pressures during ongoing trade negotiations. The Swadeshi Jagaran Manch (SJM), an organization closely linked to the RSS, has expressed concerns over proposed tariff measures that could disrupt India’s trade relations with the United States.
The SJM has emphasized that trade discussions should be grounded in principles of equality, reciprocity, and mutual respect. It argues that India should not compromise its economic sovereignty in the face of external pressures. The group has urged the Centre to adopt a firm stance, ensuring that India’s interests are protected in bilateral talks.
This stance reflects a broader push within right-wing political circles to assert India’s autonomy in international trade. The debate highlights growing tensions between economic diplomacy and the influence of global trade policies. As negotiations continue, the government faces increasing pressure to balance economic growth with strategic independence.
