Against the backdrop of globalisation, how difficult is it to talk to people about swadeshi?
India is one sixth of humanity. Opinion formation takes a long time here; particularly when you have Westernised people to run the country and make opinions. Why did you think of swadeshi? Globalisation and liberalization were the reasons. With socialism, we were committing one type of mistake. With globalisation, we were committing another. Thegovernment’s socialist policies have already stifled this country’s enterprise. This also created very poor work culture. The Western belief — that the government will do nothing and the market will do everything — is also wrong. In India, the delivery mechanism is not just the market; it is the family, it is the community, it is the state and the market. The market is only one of the institutions of delivery and it is not the sole institution. This was the base of the Swadeshi Jagran Manch. And, now we are proving to be right.Are you happy with what the finance minister has offered in his Budget? See, there is nothing in the Budget for agricu
