Affiliates of the Sangh Parivar have said the India-United States bilateral trade agreement (BTA) is unlikely to happen if America continues to be 'stubborn' about securing market access for genetically modified (GM) crops, dairy products, relaxed regulations on medical devices, and data localisation.
The Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) and Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) have flagged the issue that concessions to the United States (US) in the agriculture sector, including dairy products, will have ramifications for the country's food security.
The parivar has pointed to the efforts by US Senator Lindsey Graham to move a Bill that envisages steep economic penalties

US trade policy: Aug 1 ‘hard deadline' for reciprocal tariffs, says Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick
As India awaits an announcement on an interim trade deal with the US, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Sunday said that August 1 is a hard deadline for countries to begin paying tariffs, although the US will continue to engage with them afterwards. This comes after India and the US concluded a week-long round of trade negotiations aimed at finalising an interim trade deal, seen as crucial for India to avoid reciprocal tariffs and gain an edge over its Asian peers. 'That's a hard deadline, so on August 1, the new tariff rates will come in… Nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1, but they're going to start paying the tariffs on August 1,' Lutnick said in a television interview on Sunday. Notably, President Donald Trump's deadline for reciprocal tariffs has shifted from April 2 to July 9, and now to August 1. While Trump has reiterated that a deal with India is close, India could face tariffs of up to 26 per cent if both countries fail to reach an agreement. Government officials have maintained that India is aiming to sign a bilateral trade agreement (BTA) by the end of the year, which would provide market access in labour-intensive sectors and ensure a significant tariff differential compared to its Asian peers. Lutnick further stated that smaller countries — including those in Latin America, the Caribbean, and many in Africa — would face a baseline tariff of 10 per cent. 'The bigger economies will either open themselves up or they'll pay a fair tariff to America,' he said. Meanwhile, trade experts have pointed out that, despite being presented as trade 'agreements,' Trump's deals do not meet WTO standards for Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). Under WTO rules, FTAs require mutual tariff reductions on a substantial share of trade. 'Under the Trump model, only the partner country lowers its Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariffs, while the US makes no reciprocal cuts. Trump lacks Fast Track Trade Authority from Congress to reduce MFN tariffs. Instead, he's offering to roll back only the 'Liberation Day' tariffs imposed in April under emergency powers — tariffs that a US federal court has already ruled unlawful. The case is under appeal, but the legal basis remains fragile,' the think tank Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said. For India, those April tariffs added a 26 per cent surcharge on top of normal US tariffs. Even if a deal is struck, Indian exports may still face a minimum 10 per cent additional levy, making it a pressured compromise, not a true partnership, GTRI said in a report.

Aug 1 is hard tariff deadline, but US open to talks: Commerce Secy Lutnick
United States Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed on Sunday that August 1 is the 'hard deadline' for countries to begin paying new tariffs to the United States. The announcement comes as several nations, including India, race to finalise trade agreements before the new levies take effect. 'That's a hard deadline,' Lutnick said in an interview on CBS News. 'So on August 1, the new tariff rates will come in. Nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1, but they're going to start paying the tariffs.' Trump tariff delays and trade talks US President Donald Trump first announced new tariffs on April 2, saying the goal was to protect American industries and push for fairer trade. The tariffs were delayed twice to allow for negotiations, but US officials now say there will be no further extensions. Smaller nations, such as those in Latin America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa, will face a baseline tariff of 10 per cent. Larger economies, like those in the European Union, could be hit with much higher rates, some as high as 40 per cent, according to letters sent out by the White House earlier this month. Lutnick said the US prefers open trade, but countries that don't lower their trade barriers 'will pay a fair tariff to America'. India races to reach trade deal with US India and the United States just wrapped up the fifth round of trade talks on July 17 in Washington. The four-day discussions are part of ongoing efforts to create a bilateral trade agreement (BTA). The two countries are also working on reaching at least an interim deal before the August 1 tariff deadline. India's lead negotiator, Special Secretary Rajesh Agrawal from the Commerce Department, led the Indian delegation. Key issues in the talks included agriculture, automobiles, and trade protections. India is pushing for the removal of a 26 per cent tariff on its exports to the US, as well as relief from other US duties on steel (50 per cent), aluminium, and automobiles (25 per cent). Meanwhile, the US seeks lower tariffs on American goods, including industrial products, electric vehicles, wines, apples, nuts, dairy items, and genetically modified crops. Agriculture is a sticking point One of the main hurdles in the talks is agriculture. India has so far refused to give duty concessions on dairy and farm products, citing concerns from domestic farmers. Several Indian farmers' associations have urged the government not to include these items in any trade deal. Despite this, an Indian official said that both sides are open to packaging whatever progress is made as an interim deal, while continuing to work on a full agreement later this year, as earlier reported by Business Standard. Indian exports to US rises in Q1 Amid this, trade between the US and India is on the rise. In the first quarter of this financial year (April–June), India's exports to the US rose by 22.8 per cent to $25.51 billion, while imports from the US increased by 11.7 per cent to $12.86 billion as companies rush to ship goods before the tariffs take effect.

Sivankutty condemns recommendation to exclude rapper Vedan and Gowry Lekshmi's songs from University syllabus
Condemning an expert committee's recommendation to remove the songs by rapper Hirandas Murali (Vedan) and independent musician Gowry Lekshmy from the undergraduate curriculum of Calicut University, General Education Minister V. Sivankutty said that the move is part of the Sangh Parivar's agenda to saffronise the higher education sector. The decision to remove the songs was reportedly made following a complaint filed by members of the university's governing body appointed by the Chancellor. Appointing another illegal committee to solicit opinions on a syllabus already prepared by academic committees will not be beneficial to academic interests. Those who are opposing the inclusion of the songs are unaware of the global significance of rap music, said Mr. Sivankutty. Bhoomi Njan Vaazhunna Idam, a Malayalam rap song by rapper Vedan, was included in the syllabus of the fourth-semester undergraduate Malayalam Language and Literature course under the module Puthu Pravanathakal (new trends). The song touches upon ongoing global crises including the Palestinian 'genocide' and the war in Syria as well as the rape and murder of 8-year Asifa at Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir. The module also includes comparative study of Kathakali Padam (Kathakali song) Ajita Hare... Madhava by Muringur Shankaran Potti and its modern rendition Ajita Hare by Gowry Lekshmi, analysing how classical art forms have evolved in the current era. A.K. Anuraj, a Syndicate member aligned with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the University Syndicate, had sought the removal of Vedan's song, arguing that the language he used in his songs and public speeches was often unparliamentary and of poor quality. The Board of Studies (BoS) for undergraduate courses and the academic council of the University are expected to take a final call on the proposed exclusion of the songs.
