Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said some nations show “dadagiri” because of wealth and technology. Speaking in Nagpur, he urged India to boost exports, cut imports, and use science for self-reliance. His remark comes as the US raised tariffs on Indian goods to 50%, hitting sectors like textiles and auto parts. Washington linked the move to India’s Russian oil imports.

India called the tariffs “unfair” and vowed to protect farmers, fishermen, and workers while defending its right to grow. (PC: PTI)
