<h1>Protesters oppose US tariff hike doubling duties on Indian exports, call for boycott of American goods</h1> Local political leaders and citizens in a town in Gujarat organized a protest against the US government's decision to increase tariffs on Indian exports from 25% to 50%. The protest involved a march and the symbolic burning of American goods to express opposition to the tariffs, which were described as an attempt to weaken the Indian economy. Organizers called for a boycott of American products and framed the tariffs as part of a broader pattern of economic pressure linked to India's growing self-reliance and economic strength. The protestors warned of potential escalations if the tariffs persist and expressed support for the Indian government's stance against the US measures.
