What if Sonam Wangchuk went on another hunger strike, but this time demanding the abolition of the reservation?
Would he get support from celebrities? Would Instagram influencers run campaigns urging the govt to listen to him? Not at all. If anything, he might be physically attacked, and the govt would arrest him for provoking public sentiment and inciting riots. Nobody would call the govt 'oppressive' that time.
Essentially, neither his hunger strike nor his life is what truly matters; only the narrative matters. All of this emotional appeal to rally behind him is not for his sake, but for the sake of the narrative. His supposedly good image among the youth is merely a smokescreen to obscure the agenda driving him forward.
Such kind of support is always transactional. The moment the asset stops serving the ideological goals of the narrative-creators, his moral immunity will be revoked, his 'good image' will be dismantled overnight, and the very same crowd that idolises him would abandon him.
#WATCH | Hyderabad, Telangana: Supriya Gaud, a relative of the student who was allegedly given religious homework, says, "Yesterday, I went to the school to pick my nephew up and I saw that the contents in his diary was something which is not related to the subject. I saw a teacher writing to read Kalma and Sucralfate. That is absolutely wrong... If you are giving education, just do that. Students from different religions, different aspects are coming to get the education. They're coming for quality education... Kalma and Sucralfate is not a part of the subject, it is a religious book. Do not mix it up. If you want to make it a subject, please put Bhagavad Gita, Bible as a subject... I am really thankful to the school management because they have taken the strict action on this. We have seen the diary and we have raised our voice. I don't know in how many diaries and how many students this has been going..."
Salute to these three fearless women.
Consistency. Courage. Conviction.
I’ve watched their work for some time now and they continue to peel back layers that many would rather keep hidden.
Their relentless efforts to expose and dismantle entrenched Jihadi networks deserve recognition.
Hit like if you believe they’re doing exceptional work.
If you dont follow them yet , plz do ✅✅

In 2000, Irom Sharmila of Manipur started a hunger strike against AFSPA.
Within days, she was picked up by the Manipur Police under Section 309 of the IPC (attempted suicide) and transferred into judicial custody. Because she was in judicial custody, the state took legal responsibility for keeping her alive. To accomplish this, a feeding tube was placed through her nose, and she was fed through it for a year.
Because the maximum sentence under Section 309 was one year, the govt was legally forced to release her once every 12 months. Upon release, she would immediately pull out the nasal tube and resume her fast, leading to her re-arrest days later on fresh charges to restart the cycle of force-feeding. This continued for 16 years until she got fed up with the arrest-tube-cycle and voluntarily ended the fast in August 2016. And Manipur still has AFSPA.
Sharing this for the govt to understand that you can easily solve a Sonam Wangchuk-like blackmail this way. Just invoke Section 226 of the BNS as soon as someone announces a hunger strike, arrest and insert a nasogastric tube, and feed them until they give up.
Yes, Dharmendra Pradhan is an incompetent man and should be fired for his incompetence, but the state should not allow a single individual to subvert the collective will of the electorate through emotional coercion, undermining the rule of law. Yielding to such tactics establishes a dangerous precedent where public policy is dictated by extreme self-harm rather than democratic consensus and the common good.
Once Wangchuk gives up and goes back to Ladakh, fire Dharmendra Pradhan.
Your parents are suffering from untreated financial trauma.
Indian parents will sit on ₹5 crores of real estate and fixed deposits yet still walk in 40°C heat and fight a street vendor to save ₹15 on tomatoes. They proudly call this middle class values.
It is not. It is a poverty mindset they are absolutely terrified to outgrow.
They built a life optimizing for survival because of the circumstances at that time and now expect you to inherit that as a badge of honor. When they see you paying delivery charges or booking Urban Company, they don't get angry because you are wasting just money. They get angry because your convenience makes their decades of unnecessary suffering look completely pointless.
They forgot one brutal reality: they are not the permanent owners of their wealth. They are simply temporary custodians of it.
They spent their turn hoarding money out of a deeply ingrained fear of going broke. But that era is over. Now the time to use that money is yours. And that’s exactly how this works.
You are not disrespecting their legacy by valuing an hour of your time over ₹15 bus travel. You are actually fulfilling the purpose of the wealth they built. They have won in life.
You cannot inherit generational wealth if you are forced to inherit the trauma of poverty along with it.
Stop romanticizing their struggle, step into your role and unapologetically play your turn.

There are millions of pro-India Sikhs across social media, but they all are scattered.
It's time to unite. 🇮🇳
If you know any Sikh or Kaur who proudly supports India, tag them below. This isn't for a GC, it's to build a strong network of like-minded people.
Waheguru 🙏
Vipin Kumar is an Indian construction worker in Romania.
One day, while he was walking near Nicolae Romanescu Park in Craiova, he saw a girl slip through a thin layer of ice and start struggling in the sub-zero water. Her father tried to reach her but became trapped in the broken ice.
Without any hesitation, Vipin used a nearby sledge to slide toward her. When the ice broke beneath him as well, he plunged into the freezing water, managed to grab the child, and held her above the surface for nearly 30 minutes until emergency crews arrived.
Both Vipin and the girl suffered severe hypothermia and were rushed to the hospital, where they received treatment.
Romania granted honorary citizenship to Vipin Kumar for his bravery and for risking his own life to save the girl.
Nowadays, social media is filled with hate against India, and Indians are increasingly being targeted. But when stories like this emerge, they rarely receive the same attention. They are not shared as widely, and somewhere along the way, these stories get buried and forgotten.
A mother’s love doesn’t drown 💔 Mama held her baby tight till help came. Humans and animals, we all just want to be safe."
Rescue with heart 🙏 Nature’s strongest bond Mother & child 🐒 Thank God for the rescuers.
They gave everything for the country. They fought till the very end. They dominated the tournament. But one heartbreaking semifinal loss doesn't erase everything they achieved.
The Indian Volleyball team is devastated right now. This is the moment they need our support the most, not our silence.
If this had been cricket, millions of posts would already be flooding social media. Our athletes deserve the same love, respect and encouragement, no matter which sport they play.
Volleyball team needs our support 🙏🏻
