India uses yoga diplomacy to assert rising global influence

Associated Press  

NEW DELHI — If China has panda diplomacy, India has yoga. On Friday, the fifth annual International Yoga Day, Modi practiced various yoga “asanas” alongside an estimated 40,000 people in India’s eastern state of Jharkhand as members of his Cabinet and foreign envoys rolled out their yoga mats in cities around the world. The ministry shared photos of yoga flash mobs on the streets of Kiev, colorful yoga mats around Brussels’ Triumphal Arch, sun salutations under the Washington Monument, hundreds in seated prayer pose at Moscow’s Tagansky Park and more than 500 people in identical transparent ponchos and black pants in front of the Yellow Crane Tower in rainy Wuhan, China. At an event for diplomats in New Delhi featuring India’s foreign minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Israel’s ambassador Ron Malka said Modi’s use of yoga as a tool of diplomacy is “working quite well” to strengthen ties between the two countries. Walter Lindner, the German ambassador to India, described Modi’s yoga bid at the U.N. a “clever move.” “Yoga is a product which you can sell everywhere in the world,” Lindner said, adding that 4 million people were participating in International Yoga Day events in Germany.
