India will lead the Global South one day, and then no nation or no tariffs would be able to harm us, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said at an RSS outreach event in Lucknow on Wednesday (February 18, 2026).
Global South refers to countries considered as developing, less developed or underdeveloped in the southern hemisphere.

Mr. Bhagwat's remarks assume significance, as they come amid the recent tariff controversy with the U.S.
"India will lead the Global South. One day, tariffs won't affect us. India will stand firm and not budge before any nation," Bhagwat said at the second of the two outreach events in the State capital.
