Maybe CJP and Mr. Wangchuk started this hunger strike under the delusion that the govt has a heart for students killed/traumatised by NEET paper leak.
Maybe they were under no illusions but at least hoped for a tsunami of support from the students they are protesting for.
Or maybe they knew it all and still went ahead because that’s what revolutions sometimes demand - a delusion that people care for their own issues, a wishful thinking that our kings have a soul or at least some basic decency.
And that’s why most revolutions fail because they are not meant to succeed but to remind and document - that power has an infinite appetite for violence, esp when the opponent is non-violent.

Main bolta tha aag hoon main beta par
Khud ke hi haaton khud ko hi jala baitha."
