Yoga: Globally the most recognised of India’s civilisational gems, yoga is a prime topic of discussion in Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ episodes. The prime minister has often shared his own yoga regimes in the radio show and also highlighted how the world has adopted it as a lifestyle. From Japan to Chile to Qatar, the PM has talked about the growing influence of the ancient discipline. In Japan, he has mentioned the establishment of a ‘Japan Yoga Niketan’, which has made yoga popular throughout the island nation while there is an organisation called ‘Sarv Yoga International’ started in Italy that has popularised yoga throughout Europe. Yoga has always resonated in the US and UK, but is also popular in countries like Chile, Qatar and Vietnam. In fact, the PM has shared how children in Vietnam regularly practise yoga. A milestone was reached when the United Nations decided to observe June 21 as International Yoga Day, the proposal for which was first made in 2015 at the United Nations assembly. He has made several references to Yoga Day after this was adopted and has said there is hardly a major world leader who had not discussed yoga with him.
