What yoga record attempt tells us about India

India is in the grip of yoga fever, thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Mr Modi coaxed the United Nations into declaring 21 June International Yoga Day and announced a grand event to be held in Delhi on that day. His government plans to get tens of thousands of people to perform yoga in the heart of the capital on Sunday.
Mr Modi is an enthusiast himself - he told a biographer he tries to do yoga for an hour after waking up in the morning.
So what does Sunday's mass yoga session tell us about India?
