India’s Stand Against American Pressure on Agriculture Sector

India’s agricultural sector is not just an economic engine — it is the lifeblood of the nation, tied deeply to our culture, traditions, and self-reliance. In recent years, foreign powers, especially the United States, have sought to influence India’s policies through trade pressures and demands that threaten the interests of millions of Indian farmers. Under the leadership of the Sanatan Supportive Nationalist Government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a firm and uncompromising stand, refusing to bow to American demands that could harm our farmers, weaken food sovereignty, and disrupt our cultural ethos. This is not merely a trade dispute — it is a defense of Bharat’s identity, economy, and civilizational heritage.

🔹 Context: US Pressure on India

The United States has been pressuring India to:

Reduce import tariffs on agricultural products like corn, soybeans, apples, cotton, almonds, and ethanol.
Allow entry of genetically modified (GM) crops such as GM maize, soy, canola, and cotton.
Open Indian markets for beef and cattle feed, which contain bones and animal parts — something completely unacceptable in India due to religious and cultural reasons.
The US also wants access to India’s agriculture, dairy, and fishery sectors, which are critical components of our rural economy and self-sufficiency.

🔹 India’s Bold Stand Under PM Narendra Modi

During trade negotiations, India firmly resisted these demands.

Indian negotiators refused to lower tariffs, citing the protection of Indian farmers, who depend on domestic markets for:

Maize
Soybean
Pulses
Cotton
Fruits and nuts

> India also rejected the push for GM crops, citing biosafety concerns, long-term ecological impact, and health risks.

> The entry of beef and animal-based cattle feed was categorically denied due to its impact on Hindu sentiments and food purity norms.

🔹 Modi’s Uncompromising Message to the US

When former US President Donald Trump responded with tariff hikes (up to 50%) to pressure India, PM Narendra Modi held his ground.

PM Modi stated clearly: “For us, the interests of our farmers are top priority. India will never compromise on farmers, dairy farmers, or fishermen. I know I may personally have to pay a price for this, but I am prepared.”

This message was not just a statement — it was a civilizational declaration:

India’s farmer-first policy will not be compromised under any foreign pressure.
India will not allow American or Western corporates to enter and dominate our agriculture and food systems, which are the lifeblood of our economy and civilizational identity.

🔹 Strategic Steps by the Modi Government

While standing up to US tariff threats, the Modi government has ensured

🔹 Agriculture – The Backbone of Bharat

Despite India’s rapid global rise in technology, defense, and diplomacy:

Agriculture remains the backbone of our economy.
A significant portion of our population depends on farming, animal husbandry, and fisheries.
Protecting this sector is not just economic policy, but national security and civilizational responsibility.

PM Modi is ensuring that:

India’s agriculture stays independent and sovereign.
Foreign corporates do not hijack our food system or manipulate our farmers.
The food security and cultural ethos of Bharat remain untouched by globalists and profiteers.

🔹 Final Note – A Warning and a Call for Vigilance

PM Modi’s public statement about being ready to pay a personal price is deeply concerning.

At a time when foreign interference, deep state politics, and industrial espionage are global threats, this is not a symbolic warning.

Agencies like RAW, IB, NSG, and SPG must heighten vigilance to ensure:
PM Modi’s personal safety is never compromised.
India doesn’t fall prey to external plots like the recent chaos in Bangladesh.
