Reason I posted this tweet in the first place:
Yesterday, some people were claiming Yoga to be non-Hindu and belonging to everyone. No.
Yoga is a sacred worshipping of Hindu Gods, Goddesses.
Showcasing Yoga as someone else's is akin to showing someone's work as your own. Hence https://twitter.com/ThatHappyDudee/status/1355229327802073089

I've unfollowed some of the people who've decided that Yoga is non-Hindu. If you belong to that batch and are reading this, kindly do me a favor, comment your username below so I can do the same with you.

"My religion is not Hinduism, my religion is India". Then what's your nationality? Take pride in being a Sanatana Dharmik. Take pride in being an Indian. Why should you give up being a Hindu to be an Indian? Also, a deeper question, are they different?
Another: "We want no

Why? You want no reservations. Say that.
Why do you want to remove our culture of varna system to justify some BS that people got conditioned to as a result of colonial rule?

This thread is an outpouring of some of the hate I've seen great handles like @nitayuvani, @hindusamata and several others faced because they said "Yoga is Hindu."

Yes. Yoga is Hindu and anyone who disagrees either doesn't know Yoga or is a colonialist trying to steal it.

Yoga isn't Buddhist by nature. Since Buddha himself followed Vedas and Vedanta and never rejected it, it can be considered a tributary. But the origins lie with Hinduism solely. https://twitter.com/ar_junnnn/status/1355590157651464200?s=20

A greatly articulated article showcasing why exactly Yoga is a Hindu practice and not to be confused with any other religion.
