If dependence on China increases, we will have to bow before it, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said.

Speaking after hoisting the national flag at a Mumbai school on the 75th Independence Day, the RSS chief also said "Swadeshi" means doing business on India's terms. "We use the internet and technology a lot. Our country does not have the original technology. It comes from outside," Bhagwat said.
