India's Youth Uprising: Activist Sonam Wangchuk's 26-Day Hunger Strike Sparks Nationwide Protests

A wave of protests has swept across India as thousands of young people take to the streets to demand education reforms and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. At the forefront of this movement is activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike for 26 days, losing 11kg in the process. Despite being forcibly removed from the protest venue at Jantar Mantar and taken to hospital, Wangchuk remains resolute in his demands, refusing to end his fast until the government assures him that no force will be used against students. The protests, organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), have drawn widespread support, with tens of thousands marching through Delhi and opposition leaders staging protests outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence. The government has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with many condemning the use of excessive force against protesters. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: India's youth are determined to make their voices heard and bring about change.
