Amid escalating tariff tensions between India and the United States, it looks like American brands may be facing a boycott in India.
On Sunday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told a gathering in Bengaluru that Indian technology companies made products for the world but “now is the time for us to give more priority to India’s needs.”
The Swadeshi Jagran Manch group, which is linked to Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), shared with Reuters a table the group is circulating on WhatsApp, listing Indian brands of bath soaps, toothpaste, and cold drinks that people could choose over foreign ones.
U.S. brands operating in India are facing growing backlash following President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 50% tariff on a range of Indian goods. This escalation in trade tensions has sparked widespread calls for boycotts of American companies by Indian consumers and political groups, intensifying the challenges for U.S. businesses in one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing markets.
The tariff hike, framed by the Trump administration as a measure to protect American industries and address trade imbalances, has prompted a strong nationalist response in India.
The SJM has urged consumers to boycott major American companies such as Amazon, Walmart, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, and Apple. The movement has gained traction not only through organized demonstrations but also via social media, where hashtags like #BoycottUSA and #BoycottUS have trended, reflecting widespread public discontent.

I wouldn’t mind Trump tariffing India and Brazil if he was going all in bracing Ukraine but he isn’t doing that.

The world is really starting to hate the US and rightfully so. We’re treating everyone like shit. No Republican has come forward opposing anything Trump has put forward. When you greet Americans, ask them if they’re Republicans. If they are, don’t be shy in telling them how you feel!!!

Good. And while you’re at it, boycott the H-1B visa program, where the US enslaves Indian programmers.

it might not be the right thing to say but my state mainly exports seafood products along side with spices and tea to america and because of tariffs, a lot of shrimp and fish products are staying in the local market instead, so we’re getting them much cheaper and with greater availability.
