International Yoga Day: Yoga’s global success highlights India’s soft power paradox

Key FactsModi Marks Yoga as Largest Global Festival

Jun 21, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: firstpost.com

The 11th International Yoga Day was celebrated by Prime Minister Modi at Kolkata’s Red Road, calling it the world’s largest festival.

Global engagement in Yoga Day activities has increased twofold compared to previous years, according to Modi.

June 21 has gained significance as the longest day of the year and a day of worldwide collective celebration due to Yoga Day.

The theme ‘Yoga for Healthy Ageing’ emphasizes yoga’s role in enhancing flexibility and mental wellness across all ages.

Our target must be to be more flexible at 40 than we were at 20. Our target must be more energetic at 50 than we were at 30. Our target must be to be more resistant to lifestyle diseases at 70 than we were at 50. This is where Yoga can help us.
— Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, speaking on Yoga for Healthy Ageing at the 11th International Day of Yoga in Kolkata
