@insidemanifest I am ready!

Today, 100 days are complete since the detention of Ka Sonam Wangchuk under the National Security Act.

His crime ?

Reminding the government of its own promise of sixth schedule protection and constitutional empowerment of the people of Ladakh.

The government of the day has miserably failed to understand Ladakh and its peace- loving people.

The incarceration of Ka Sonam Wangchuk - who is dearly loved across the region- is in many ways an incarceration of all the Ladakhis .

@insidemanifest Yes!

Today marks three months since #Ladakh lost four sons to the bullets fired by forces. Tsewang Tharchin Skurbuchan, Rinchen Dadul Hanu, Jigmet Dorjay Kharnak, Stanzin Namgyal Igoo. Our martyrs, heroes, we salute your sacrifice.
As 2025 draws to end, Ladakh still awaits justice.

[Tsering Lhamo @tseringladags]

#September24, Worse than the worst happened in #Ladakh. My Ladakh, Our Ladakh!
Still reeling under the shock!

Tsewang Tharchin Skurbuchan, Rinchen Dadul Hanu, Jigmet Dorjay Kharnak, Stanzin Namgyal Igoo. Our martyrs, our shaheed. You will always remain in our hearts!

Once celebrated, now vilified and seen as a threat to national sovereignty. In reality, he is a threat for corporate takeover of #Ladakh land. A vocal advocate for #SixthSchedule now coerced into silence since granting this status will hamper the takeover.

Coexistence and interdependence are key to our survival.
"Let us not mistake the silence of resilient life forms for their absence, nor the frugality of the landscape for its barrenness—lest we imperil our own survival."

A development paradigm relevant with fragile ecology of #Ladakh is imp.
"Ill-conceived mega solar projects, aimed largely at power export, threaten far greater havoc on Ladakh’s fragile landscape than the careful, incremental steps of local development."

Fresh election for a new LAHDC #leh "not practicable at this stage, as it would lead to representational anomalies and administrative inconsistencies." In other words, no democratic representation. Is it now that wind is not in favour of the ruling party?

Hill Council, #leh 5yr tenure ended this Oct with no fresh election in sight. Leaders concern with last remnant of democracy now gone. No panchayat, no assembly, now no Councillors. Qs remain, what's future of public institution? What about people's voice?

UT foundation day 'celebrated' on Oct 31. Celebrated what? No democratic representation? No Council, no panchayat, no assembly? Four youth killed on Sep24 with impunity, no accountability? #SonamWangchuk behind bars under NSA? Local activists behind bars?

@GitanjaliAngmo @Wangchuk66 Irony is stark here!

[Tsering Lhamo @tseringladags]

Leaders express deepening dissatisfaction and alienation with Centre-public bridge now scrapped off. Imp ques- Why fresh election not announced? Is it because people are aware of hollow promises of the ruling party? Now that wind is not in their favour?

"In Ladakh, we have no assembly, no panchayat, the only Council we have is likely to be dissolved. We have no democratic representation at all. As indigenous people registered in the Scheduled Tribes, we deserve more."

#sonamwangchuck among other luminaries listed in Time100 Climate 2025 for creating 'ice stupa' to combat climate-induced water scarcity in high-altitude desert regions. He was arrested "for protesting for greater autonomy in the region."

Today marks one month of the arrest of #sonamwangchuck. Allegations surfaced against him are not only baseless, also outright malicious and dangerous. A true patriot framed under the draconian NSA by those in power played a cruel joke on Indian democracy.

October 24 marks one month when #Ladakh lost four sons to bullets fired by forces. Refusing to acknowledge accountability, apparently Administration is choosing culpability.
#LadakhdeservesJustice, delaying justice is aggressively rubbing salt on people's wounds.

#SonamWangchuk and his supporters are still in jail for asserting their rights demanding Sixth Schedule of Indian Constitution for environmental stewardship, tribal rights, indigenous culture protection, land security. People of #Ladakh are in pain with the heavy-handed approach.

[Mary Lawlor @MaryLawlorhrds]

Hearing disturbing news that HRD Sonam Wangchuk, a long-time advocate for environmental protection, education reform & youth empowerment in #Ladakh, has been detained since 26 September under #India's National Security Act. I call for his immediate release. @IndiaUNGeneva
