00:00That's yoga guru Baba Ramdev on camera calling for a boycott of US brands just hours after
00:11Donald Trump's new India tariffs, now as high as 50%, kicked in.
00:26Washington double duties on many Indian imports.
00:29The White House added a fresh 25% penalty linked to India's Russian oil purchases on
00:34top of an existing 25% slab.
00:36Net effect, up to 50% on products like garments, gems and jewellery, footwear, sporting goods,
00:41furniture and chemicals.
00:43Ramdev's pitch is simple, hit back with your wallet.
00:46He says Indians should completely boycott American companies to pressure Trump into rolling back
00:50the move.
00:51For India, the stakes are real.
00:52Small exporters are expected to take the biggest hit with concerns over jobs and growth.
00:57Five rounds of trade talks between India and the US have so far failed to reduce American
01:01duties, which remain far higher than the rates applied to countries like Japan, South Korea
01:05or the European Union.
01:07While Ramdev is pushing for a consumer-led boycott, the real test now is how Indian businesses will
01:11cope with a 50% barrier at the US border.
