🪡@narendramodi will take part in the International Yoga Day show in #Mysore on June 21.
In a nation that buys ‘The Daily Spectacle’, this is just another dot in @PMOIndia’s diary.
But what goes into an event like this—for hashtags to trend for a few hours on Tuesday? #YogaDay

2️⃣ Modi doing #Yoga in #Mysuru is a big deal.
All three great gurus of the 20th century—T.Krishnamacharya, B.K.S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois—grew under the patronage of the Maharajas of Mysore.
UN designated June 21 as #InternationalDayofYoga only after Modi became PM in 2014.

3️⃣ Still, a one-hour show led by the PM at Mysore Palace takes some doing.
Coverage in Mysore’s local dailies #StarOfMysore and #Andolana gives a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes.
It is a sobering lesson of how a partipatory democracy can be a made-for-TV spectacle.
