Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that countries indulging in “dadagiri” (bullying) on the global stage are able to do so because of their economic clout and technological edge. His remarks come at a time when India is facing its steepest-ever tariffs from the United States.Speaking at the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) in Nagpur on Saturday, Gadkari urged India to boost exports, cut imports, and harness science and technology to achieve self-reliance. “Those who are indulging in ‘dadagiri’ are doing so because they are economically strong, and they have technology. If we get better technology and resources, we will not bully anyone, because our culture teaches us that welfare of the world is most important,” he said.advertisementHis comments follow a fresh escalation in trade tensions after US President Donald Trump signed an order on August 6 imposing an additional 25 per cent duty on Indian goods, taking the total tariff to 50 per cent. This makes India one of the most heavily taxed trading partners in US history, with sectors ranging from textiles and gems to pharmaceuticals and auto parts hit hard.The White House has linked the penalties to New Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil — a stance India has defended as essential for its energy security. The move has sparked the sharpest diplomatic rift between the two countries in two decades, with Washington suspending trade talks and warning of further sanctions.Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a pointed message widely seen as directed at Trump, said India would never compromise on the welfare of its farmers, fishermen, and dairy workers, even if that meant “paying a heavy price.”“For us, the interest of our farmers is our top priority,” PM Modi said at a recent event.Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also criticised the US measures, suggesting that some powers were uncomfortable with India’s rapid growth. Referring to the US as “sabka boss,” he said, “Many are trying to ensure that products made in India become more expensive so that the world stops buying them. But no power can now stop India from becoming a major global power.”India has branded the tariffs “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable” and vowed to “take all necessary actions” to protect its interests.- EndsTune In in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
