Public Sentiment Summary

Many commenters express staunch nationalism, pride in India's sovereignty, and a strong call to resist US dominance, framing the tariffs as an attack on their nation. A significant portion of the comments advocate for the boycott of American goods, viewing this as a chance for India to bolster its self-reliance and diversify trade partnerships, especially with nations like Russia.

We can’t be your servant like European leaders yes boss attitude. We have backbone- Modi ji is right.
Boycott American goods and services it's a must.
We are proud of Modi and stand behind him. We will continue to buy Russian oil. Trump and his Govt can stick it up, we aren't buying their BS.
India will not and should not flinch….India can take on the economic pressure as the nation has survived England's ruthless colonialism…for centuries.
The future of both nations are intertwined, and this tariff will strengthen India's resolve.
