Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking in Varanasi, reaffirmed India’s trajectory toward becoming the world’s third-largest economy, directly countering U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remark calling India a “dead economy.” Modi emphasized the importance of prioritizing national interests amid global instability and urged citizens to embrace swadeshi products, stating “we will buy only those things that are made by Indians.” He called for unity across political lines to strengthen India’s economic future. Modi’s remarks came just days after Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on Indian imports and criticized India’s ties with Russia. The Prime Minister asserted that India’s resilience and self-reliance will drive its rise in the global economic order.
