This!

Even if a few hundred of citizens in the entire country have this clarity of thought, the country will change for the better.

These heartfelt, unfiltered thoughts are the real ammunition behind this protest!

How dare you threaten students for exercising their democratic rights?

Please note, you are the ones that will be held accountable when the time comes.

[Sonam Wangchuk @Wangchuk66]

I’m Not in good shape but not so bad either...
Rather than asking me to break my fast please join me on 20th July... Peaceful March to the Parliament.

.@SrBachchan made a KBC episode on him. Amir Khan made 3 idiots inspired by him & shot partly in his school.
Yet as Sonam Wangchuk has lost >8KG on his 16th day of fast at Jantar Mantar, staking his life for the future of children’s education, they ignore him!

[Vir Das @thevirdas]

I'd like to believe a citizen on a 16day hunger strike warrants a conversation with the government whose actions brought him to that place. I say ‘a citizen’ because perhaps any citizen fighting for a cause, for students, would expect the same. Acknowledgment at some level of govt. I cannot imagine a person who wants harm to come to Mr Wangchuk. I don’t see why a mere dialogue is this hard. As a citizen, I don’t pretend to understand any sort of political manoeuvring. As a citizen, I’ve certainly been proved wrong more than I have been right. Political strategy, alliances aside, as a citizen…you cannot dispute what he is fighting for. Younger citizens. Happy to be called naive, simplistic, or ignorant. But I see students crying for help, a citizen on a hunger strike, and I request my govt to engage in dialogue.

VIKAS DIVYAKIRTI REMINDS INDIA THAT HITLER ALSO WON ELECTIONS 🚨

Democracy is not just about winning 51% votes. If the majority starts crushing everyone else’s rights, it becomes dictatorship.

Hitler also came to power through elections. That is why constitutional morality matters as much as numbers.

The Constitution protects minorities, women and weaker sections whose rights cannot depend on vote numbers alone.

REMEMBER 🔥: When the fire reaches someone else, we clap. But that fire does not stop there. One day it reaches us too.

An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:

My dear young friends,

I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.

This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.

I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.

So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.

To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.

And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.

To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.

With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.

And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.

[Saket Gokhale @SaketGokhale]

Across India, lakhs of us are extremely concerned about the deteriorating health of Mr Sonam Wangchuk who has been fasting since 28th June.

Whose duty is it to reach out & listen to him? THE MODI GOVT

While numerous Opposition leaders have expressed solidarity with @Wangchuk66 & @CJP_2029, there has been a shameful & pathetic silence from the Modi Govt.

The least that the Govt could’ve done was reach out to Mr Wangchuk & listen to his concerns. He is not protesting for himself but is doing so for lakhs of students. What would the govt lose by at least talking to him?

It is wishful thinking to expect a resignation from a shameless govt. But the fact that they’re ok even if Mr Wangchuk dies is a new low. He has lost over 8 kgs of weight in two weeks. His condition is EXTREMELY CRITICAL.

I’ve written to Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan urging him to at least communicate with Mr Wangchuk and listen to the concerns he’s expressing about NEET and CBSE on behalf of lakhs of students.

If anything happens to Mr Sonam Wangchuk, the Modi Govt & @dpradhanbjp must be held responsible for not even reaching out to him.

Police cannot stop you from recording on your phone for your own safety.

Judge reprimands the lawyer for defending the police who tried to stop a citizen from recording.

Supreme Court should declare the Right to Record Public Officials in Public Space as a Fundamental Right.

In a deeply disturbing incident, a 27-year-old woman, Reshu Gupta, reportedly sustained severe injuries after an confrontation with Jaipur police clearing the road for CM Bhajanlal Sharma’s convoy. It’s alleged that police pushed her momos cart, causing boiling water to spill on her. The video shows police leaving the scene as she cries in pain.
