"PM Modi promotes yoga diplomacy at UN ahead of US visit"
TL;DR Summary
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in a yoga session on the North Lawn Area outside the United Nations' headquarters in New York ahead of his state visit to the US. Modi convinced the UN to adopt a resolution declaring June 21 as the International Day of Yoga in 2014. Critics have accused him of using yoga to distract from his poor human rights record and pursuit of a form of Hindu nationalism that has grossly penalized India's minority groups, its Muslims especially.
