In a bold stance, PM Modi made it clear that India will not bow to global pressure whether it’s from WTO, the US, or anyone else.
What’s really happening?
• India is resisting WTO pressure and US demands to open its agriculture sector to foreign players and large agribusinesses.
• Simultaneously, India continues its oil trade with Russia, defying G7 pushback further showing its commitment to strategic autonomy.
“Even if it costs us financially, farmers’ welfare is our top priority,” said PM Modi pointing at import tariffs as a shield against cheap foreign agri-dumping.
The message: India won’t allow its farm sector to be a playground for multinationals even if it means facing heat from the West.
If India had opened its farming and dairy sectors, local farmers could have suffered due to tough competition from big foreign companies. Buying expensive US weapons would also strain our budget without giving us much in return. It’s good that India didn’t give in, partnerships are fine but not at the cost of our own people and interests.
India has millions of small and marginal farmers most of whom rely on government support, MSPs (Minimum Support Prices), and protection from cheaper foreign imports.
Allowing foreign agribusinesses to flood the market with cheap produce could destroy local livelihoods.
It’s important to trade globally, but not at the cost of our farmers or economy. I support the decision to not open up agriculture fully and to continue energy trade that helps our country.
For the first time i observed that BBC one of the fake news maker & anti India propagandist about India , has published the realistic news about India & US relationship and also about Trump Tariff on India , It may be due to the Indian news writer on BBC , or may be BBC realized its time to public proper news
Not so, if we consider second-order effects, right?
Does the tax-payer desire food-security?
Is subsidizing agriculture achieving that?
Is this the best way to achieve that though?
What about other adversaries
that do NOT wish to enable the tax-payer to have food-security?
does the current “sub-optimal” policy help deal with them?
What about the route to the eventual ideal policy?
does that involve the current sub-optimal state as a stepping-stone?
Again, hard to argue/justify complicated systems with N-th order effects involved.
But i couldn’t hold myself back from pointing of what seemed like a logical-fallacy to me.
Farmer life is not so easy , it involves real Physical hardship , Trump ranting & Tariff on India & one of the reason i think is that , his supporters are American Farmers , people like “Avansh” in USA
Now the one more American media and also Anti India & Fake news provider about India turned as India supporter , Thanks to Trump Tariff on India & a Trump hater
