In his annual Vijaya Dashami address on October 2, 2025, at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat emphasized the importance of 'Swadeshi' (indigenous production) in response to the United States' recent tariff policies against India. He criticized the U.S. tariffs as self-serving but acknowledged the inevitability of global interdependence. Bhagwat cautioned that such dependence should not become a compulsion and stressed the need for India to focus on self-reliance while maintaining diplomatic relations with all nations. He also addressed regional unrest, warning that instability in neighboring countries could lead to foreign interference and urging India to embrace its diversity while rejecting divisive mentalities.
