Abstract

The piece discusses the global rise in popularity of Ayurvedic practices and yoga, highlighting how the Indian government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), has promoted these elements of Hindu culture as tools of soft power. The establishment of the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) exemplifies this initiative. The article also touches upon figures like Jaggi Vasudev, known as Sadguru, who have supported government policies such as the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which has been criticized for discriminating against Muslim migrants.
