The best way to purchase an item is to find it at the store nearest to you by going through the Indian Products List for daily use. Yes, in this article let us see how, by adhering to simple principles of Swadeshi Movement or purchasing Indian products, we can help the local people, businesses, and subsequently the national economy grow.

The credit of starting the Swadeshi Movement goes to Ram Singh Kuka. He belonged to the Namdhari sect, who started the movement by instructing the Namdharis to wear only those clothes that were made in India. This led to the mass boycott of the British goods who were profiting from the “daily use products” sold here, only to rule us. 

This got further propaganda at the time of the partition of Bengal. To show their dislike towards the partition, Indians relied on the Swadeshi Movement by selecting the daily use consumer products list mentioned here and started boycotting British Products. Besides, western clothes were burnt by throwing them onto bonfires. 

Bengal had produced numerous nationalists who had fought for Indian freedom. Since Bengal was the hub for all nationalistic movements, it was decided to be partitioned only to stop the freedom movement. Due to all this, our leaders decided to stand up against British atrocities, by ridiculing the decision, along with the use of only daily use products made in India.

After the Bengalis were exhausted from trying the following ideas:

  • Vocal protests
  • Appeals
  • Petitions
  • Conferences

This was the last resort for them, more of an economic war. It took time to take momentum until it reached the masses. Once it reached the masses, there was no looking back. It served its two purposes:

  1. The mills of Bombay and Ahmedabad had suffered losses due to the advent of British clothes. This was revoked and made huge profits giving employment to many people
  2. On the other hand, because of the British goods’ boycott, the Britishers suffered great losses, like burning of the clothes in public, including salt and sugar

What started then is still resonating in the minds of millions of nationalists and Pakka Patriots. Though the Britishers have quit India, the commercial and mindset are still enslaved by the same western thought, as opposed to what should ideally have been, i.e. passion at least towards daily use products. The movement still plays an important role both emotionally and economically.

This has been confined to a particular class and is yet to reach the masses due to the failure in understanding the concept completely. Surprisingly, it is still believed to be a backward phenomenon that has no relevance whatsoever in this century.

On the contrary, it is certainly beneficial to any country in many ways:

  1. The dependencies that a nation has on other nations come down drastically due to the manufacturing and production of products in such a large scale
  2. The investment by Indians in terms of purchases returns back to Indians stopping money from entering the international market
  3. It increases the visibility of Indian products in the international markets, which enables inflow of money from other countries
  4. A lot of employment opportunities will be created for the local people
  5. The type of economy that will be followed, will be “by Indians for Indians

This is absolutely not pertinent to this nation alone. Many, in fact, all of them have incorporated the same concept in their respective countries.
