– Freelance journalist K. Raka Sudhakar Rao claimed that the U.S. is strategically working to weaken economies like those of India, China, and Russia but expressed confidence in India’s ability to manage tariff-related conflicts effectively.

Indian Opinion Analysis

The discussion raises pertinent concerns regarding India’s dependency on imported goods and the competitive challenges posed by international trade restrictions or sanctions from global powers like the United States. Prasad’s critique points toward a need for strengthening India’s manufacturing base to reduce reliance on foreign products-a basic step for long-term economic resilience.

On a broader scale, Rao’s commentary suggests geopolitical maneuvering behind these tariffs or sanctions-possibly reflecting shifting power dynamics among major global economies including India, China, and russia. While optimistic views were presented about overcoming tariff conflicts,this underscores an urgent need for strategic trade policies and self-reliance initiatives under frameworks like Atmanirbhar Bharat to mitigate external pressures.
