RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said India will engage in international trade based on free will, not under external pressure.

According to him, india cannot remain isolated from the world, but cooperation must protect national economic interests.
He underlined that trade decisions should be guided by self-respect and strategic choice, not compulsion.

He noted that policy-level changes move gradually and evolve.
Government trade and economic policies adjust step by step rather than instantly.

Purchases and imports should aim to strengthen India’s internal economy.
