Overall 70% positive 30%-ve things

Subtiler Druck

Kumar ärgert, dass er quasi dazu gezwungen wird, Yoga zu betreiben und am Event zum Yoga-Tag teilzunehmen. Der Druck sei subtil, aber deutlich gewesen, sagt er. Im Ministerium seien Memos herumgegangen, in denen gemahnt wurde, dass Beamte, die am Sonntag die Übungen nicht absolvieren könnten, den Rekordversuch gefährdeten. Tatsächlich werden an diesem Morgen im Garten des Yoga-Instituts Anwesenheitslisten geführt. "Wenn ich nicht mitmachen würde, würde das meiner Karriere schaden" sagt Kumar.

Some moron complaining that if he doesn't take part , his career would be affected.

Auch die religiösen Minderheiten in Indien laufen gegen die von Modi verordnete Yoga-Seligkeit Sturm: Indische Christen beschweren sich, dass der Yoga-Tag auf einen Sonntag fällt - den Tag des Herrn, an dem man doch ruhen solle. Muslimische Verbände beschweren sich, dass Modi Yoga in den Schulen einführen will und Muslime so genötigt würden, mit der Silbe "Om" und dem Sonnengruß hinduistische Rituale zu absolvieren. Das sei gegen ihre Religion.

Christians complaining that sunday is a holi-&- holy day so no yoga.
Muslims complaining about surya namaskar and pagan rituals

Surprisingly positive :99% +ve
What I liked

Doch nicht nur Indien beging den Tag. In Taipeh rollten mehr als 2.000 Teilnehmer ihre Matten aus und boten 108 Runden des Sonnengrußes dar. Der indische Pilot Fazel Shan schloss sich bei einem Zwischenstopp in Taiwan den dortigen Yoga-Fans an. „Ist es nicht beeindruckend?“, fragte er. „Schauen Sie sich doch nur die Zahl von Menschen an, die hier sind und darin aufgehen.“

Lots of people doing yoga in Taipei.

Welt-Yoga-Tag: Millionen Menschen biegen und dehnen sich
(this is a particularly rabid anti India paper)
They have a problem with the ommkaar .. lol this is the NDTV of German papers

«Yoga gehört zu keiner Religion», stellte Außenministerin Sushma Swaraj daraufhin klar. Auch wurde das meditative «Om» für den Tag gestrichen. Bei den Yoga-Übungen waren - trotz Fastenzeit - viele Muslime zu sehen.

so i'd say 80% positive since they did not interview RoL.
@Sakal Gharelu Ustad @roma how's it in your parts of EU?

Mostly positive:

Pour cette première édition, le chef de l'exécutif indien Narendra Modi a non seulement prononcé un discours, mais s'est aussi livré à une session d'exercices de yoga, au milieu de milliers d'adeptes réunis à New Dehli. Il avait en effet décidé de donner un sens particulièrement fort à cette journée de célébration, la promotion du yoga étant l'un des piliers de sa politique. Des rassemblements similaires, mais de moindre importance, ont également eu lieu, notamment à Taïpei et Paris.

Dans le registre religieux, la journée mondiale du yoga n’a pas provoqué de frictions particulières. Si certains membres de la communauté musulmane ont refusé d’y participer, c’est pour ne pas avoir à chanter des om, le mantra considéré par les hindous comme le son de la vibration de l’univers. Quant aux éléments les plus radicaux du Bharatia Janata Party (BJP), le parti majoritaire, qui estimaient que les opposants au yoga devaient « se noyer en mer ou quitter l’Inde », ils n’ont pas reçu beaucoup d’écho et le gouvernement Modi a pris ses distances avec eux.

I think French really want to sell those Rafales! They even wrote "Om" corresponds to vibration of universe according to Hindus, which was problematic for some muslims.
Overall, pretty positive and no rabid lecturing!
