Yogi Adityanath says ‘foreign mentality’ still dividing society, urges Swadeshi adoption

On Tuesday, Uttar Pradesh Prime Minister Yogi Adityanath claimed that the “foreign mentality” continued to be divided in Indian society and warned that such forces would even question the Swadeshi campaign.

Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Swadeshi Sankalp on a state -level workshop addressing, “India did not have what? But some people divided us in the name of caste, region and language. Today, even with the same foreign mentality, they divide the society.

Connecting his criticism to a greater historical narrative, the Prime Minister claimed that India’s social fabric, economy and demography suffered under foreign administration for centuries.
“When Islam attacked India for the first time and the Hindu population in the country until 1100 AD was about 60 Crore. When India reached independence in 1947, telling me that it fell only to 30 Crore. Me, in this 800-900 years, our population has grown or fell from 60 Crore to 30 Crore.

He argued that the decline was not only due to invasions, but also from the consequences of famine and disease. Adityanath, “Hindu population was not reduced only because of the persecution of the invaders, but people died of hunger, illness and various forms of torture. This is a foreign subjugation… The same thing happened in this country,” he said.

The Prime Minister also claimed that India’s economic stance was eroded under external domination over time. “India’s contribution to the world economy was 25 percent. India, including today’s Pakistan and Bangladesh, was the number one economic power and the number one producer nation. In agriculture, India had no matches. Production takes place in India, from a needle to a ship, from a fountain pen to a plane, under the leadership of BJP. Swadeshi added that it brought both a national proud and global potential. Adityanath, “Any product and your youth made with the sweat of Indian workers Swadeshi for us. Swadeshi. ‘Make in India, Make for the world’. Swadeshi’nin is a part of our entire life is extremely important,” he said.
