IT'S A TYPICAL June afternoon in Haridwar. The sun is blazing down from a hot and copper sky, and the 43° C temperature has kept most people indoors. The occasional breeze lifts dust. After a tour of the Patanjali Research Institute near Bahadrabad in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, we are headed along the Delhi-Haridwar highway to the Patanjali Foods & Herbal Park in Mustafabad village, some 25 km away. But Swami Ramdev's convoy disappears in a cloud of dust as his Range Rover shoots off along the narrower local road.
Who would have thought that Swami Ramdev was a speed demon? Maybe sitting in a Range Rover (with a top speed of 290 kmph) with Z-category security does that to you. Or maybe it's the yoga guru's way of signalling his intent to double his Patanjali group's turnover to ₹1 lakh crore in just four years.
