Calls for a boycott of U.S. brands like McDonald’s and Apple in India are growing due to anti-American sentiment following tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. Local brands are being promoted as a patriotic alternative, with social media campaigns urging support for Indian products.

Despite the boycott calls, Tesla launched a new showroom in India, indicating ongoing interest in American brands. The Swadeshi Jagran Manch group, linked to Modi’s party, is rallying for the boycott of American products, promoting nationalism and patriotism as key factors in supporting local brands.

In response to the boycott, some consumers like Rajat Gupta in Uttar Pradesh remain unfazed, enjoying their favorite American brands like McDonald’s. The movement to support local products over American imports is gaining momentum, with a focus on bath soaps, toothpaste, and cold drinks as alternatives to foreign brands.
