"PM Modi to Lead International Yoga Day at UN Headquarters"

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead foreign dignitaries and bureaucrats in a yoga session for International Yoga Day at the United Nations' Secretariat in New York. Modi has promoted yoga as a cultural soft power to stretch his nation's diplomatic reach and flex his country's rising place in the world. Despite its religious roots, Modi has used yoga to try and boost his image in the diverse nation. However, some Muslims say they should not be forced to perform sun salutations or chant Hindu hymns.
