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.

And no he's not phusukh wangdu of 3 idiots which is a fictional character drawn from the whimsical and fanciful imagination of its writer. I think the movie was a carefully crafted project to open the mountains for the middle class indians with disposable cash incomes.

Objection to the proposal of ADCs proves that Tsering Lakrook was wrong while he was saying that seats in the legislature would be proportionate to the areas of ladakh not its population. This is a huge betrayal of the public mandate!

@Lobzang69 @yakzee_tashi @Wangchuk66 You better remain forever subjugated to kashmiri colonialism, when even for making a passport you had to visit kashmir and stay put there for several days. We feel freed because the administration is at our doorstep and that does pinches you.

The Holy Relics of Tathagata Buddha departed from the Photang Gompa, Karsha in a ceremonial procession, and an @IAF_MCC helicopter conveyed the Holy Relics from the Padum Army Helipad to Leh - a short while ago.

The Holy Relics will remain on Exposition at the Dharma Centre Leh till 14 May 2026.

Apparently, this is one of the earliest known photographs of the sacred Kedarnath Dham, taken in 1882.

Couldn’t take my eyes off it.

No roads. No railheads. No helicopters.

Just the abode of Lord Shiva, cradled by the Himalayas

Back then, the yatra demanded time, endurance, & faith. The journey wasn’t incidental; it WAS the pilgrimage.

Today, access is easier. And that’s a good thing because it opens the experience to many more.

But perhaps something still needs preserving?

The ability to slow down & savour the experience of traveling.

Because journeys are about who we become along the way.

It is a matter of immense delight that yesterday, on the occasion of Buddha Purnima, the ‘Sacred Exposition of the Holy Relics of the Tathagata’ was inaugurated in Leh. These revered relics are linked to the Piprahwa Stupa in Kapilavastu and were excavated in the closing years of the nineteenth century. They embody the enduring teachings of Lord Buddha.

The exposition will continue until 14th May. In the coming days, it will also travel to Zanskar. It offers a valuable opportunity for people from across Ladakh to pay their respects. It will also boost spiritual and cultural tourism in Ladakh.

Lavish budgets on paper, and generous leakage on the ground! In Ladakh, it seems some departments have redefined “work” as a suggestion rather than a responsibility. The budgets are serious, the resources are real, only the intent appears to be on leave

[Amit Shah @AmitShah]

कल लद्दाख के लिए एक ऐतिहासिक दिन होगा, जब बुद्ध पूर्णिमा के शुभ अवसर पर भगवान बुद्ध के पवित्र अवशेष लद्दाखवासियों के दर्शन के लिए उपलब्ध होंगे। मैं स्वयं को सौभाग्यशाली मानता हूँ कि मुझे भी कल इन पावन अवशेषों के दर्शन का दुर्लभ अवसर प्राप्त होगा।

इन पवित्र अवशेषों के आगामी दो सप्ताह तक लद्दाख वासियों को सुगमता से दर्शन हो सकें, इस संबंध में आज लद्दाख के उपराज्यपाल, नेतागण और संबंधित अधिकारियों के साथ बैठक की।

[Amit Shah @AmitShah]

Tomorrow, will be leaving for Ladakh for a two-day visit. It is a moment of profound good fortune for me to be attending on the occasion of Buddha Purnima, the first ever international exposition of the holy relics of Lord Buddha, commencing on the 1st of May. In this exposition devotees from different parts of the world will offer veneration to the relics of Lord Buddha.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Professor P. Stobdan, distinguished former Ambassador and eminent intellectual from Ladakh. His contributions to diplomacy, scholarship, and public life will be remembered with respect.

My heartfelt condolences to his family and admirers.
