Modi Marks Yoga Day, Twitter Has Field Day

International Yoga Day was marked for the second year on June 21 as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s soft diplomatic push.

But, Twitter trolls the efforts. Although Twitter may introduce its own emoji to commemorate the occasion, the ever-entertaining Indian Twitterati has other plans.

While Modi may ask his lawmakers and bureaucrats to bend it like there is no tomorrow, social media has no intentions to heed the call.

Here are some of the best which got the better of Modi's Yoga Day celebrations.

Surya Namaskara

I wonder if any Yoga types will get offended if I called Surya Namaskar a slow burpee. Anyone? #YogaDay
