The Swadeshi Jagaran Manch or SJM is an economic wing of Sangh Parivar that again took the tool of Swadeshi advocated in India before its independence to destabilize the British Empire. SJM took to the promotion of Swadeshi (indigenous) industries and culture as a dote against LPG. It is usually recognised as a part of the Sangh Parivar of Hindu nationalist organizations. Representatives of five n
ational level organisations including Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS), Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat (ABGP) and Sahkar Bharati took this decision in the presence of Shri Dattopant Thengdi, founder of BMS. For proper ex*****on of movement a Central Committee was formed and Dr. M.G. Bokare (Ex Vice Chancellor, Nagpur University) was given the responsibility of convener. On 12 January 1992, the birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, the first massive campaign against the economic policy of Indian central government started. People from all walks of life with distinct ideologies came together on the SJM platform to fight against economic imperialism. Subsequently literature on Swadeshi, intellectual property rights. General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and economic imperialism of multinationals was published and distributed to popularize the cause of SJM. Later on many other organizations joined the forces for Swadeshi like Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram, Vidya Bharati, Rashtra Sevika Samiti, Bharatiya Sikshan Mandal etc. Today SJM has become an all-encompassing movement with more than 15 organizations associated with it. The philosophy of Rastra Bandhu Dr. Rajiv Dixit, an Indian scientist, orator and one of the leaders of the modern Swadeshi movement in India, is exactly the same as the ideology of Swadeshi Jagaran Manch. He claimed that "liberalization, privatization and globalization, the three evil faces staring at us today, have pushed us towards suicidal states". The dramatic fall of world economy in 2009 has exposed the limitations of LPG economic philosophies making it imminent for the economist to look for corrections. SJM's effort to embarrass the economists and the concepts of the subject of economy subsequent to the fall of world economy had little success due to its inability to come out with practical alternative for the economic crisis.
