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.

How sad...... The Hon'ble President of India has made an exception by going to the house of an old and perhaps ailing BJP leader for conferring "Bharat Ratna" but a Soldier who has lost half of his body (lower part)while on duty of guarding the Borders of our Nation is brought on a wheelchair to the Rashtrapati Bhawan to receive an award. However, he alongwith many such other Soldiers are still running from pillar to post to get their Disability Pension approved.
