Yoga guru, businessman and televangelist, Baba Ramdev is nothing short of a revolutionary. He was the first of the spiritual gurus to teach yoga wholesale on Sanskaar TV. He may not have been the first to package ayurvedic products and make them readily available, but he was definitely the first one to show prove that his marketing strategy is second to none.
And now, after conquering cosmetics, food, medicine and everything else in between, Baba Ramdev wants to launch a clothing line - Patanjali clothes if you will.
And a key item that literally has Twitter choking on its nada, is the idea of swadeshi jeans. A dreaded item of clothing in many colleges and households who believe women wear it only to attract trouble. The concept of a pair of swadeshi western wear is cause for a lot of giggles today.
What is the ayurvedic procedure to turn this prime example of videshi culture into a swadeshi one?
Head over to Twitter for some instant laughter, you all. The jokes just keep on coming:

If 'swadeshi' jeans then why set up factories in Pakistan & Afghanistan? pic.twitter.com/pYeAncoce6
