What's your view on the ongoing protest in Ladakh?

Sonam wangchuck the real life Phunksukh Wangdu has not eaten anything other than water and salt since the last 18 days. He demands the 6th schedule to be implemented in Ladakh, which was promised by the BJP. In my opinion, it should be implemented in Ladakh as it will give power to the regional government to protect their natural resources and also their local tribe population. But none of the BJP spokespersons have met him yet. He is a real life hero and should be heard

Sadly the apathy and the silence of the government is deafening. A non-issue for them at best because they have bigger fish to fry.

Not really. It's a lobbying market for them and has lots of money to be made profiting off the natural resources of the sensitive area. In front of that, human lifes aren't worth shit for the politicians

Sad reality is none of the mainstream media is clutching to this story.

I strongly feel if this story comes in limelight, BJP will be forced to come forward for negotiation/discussions

And we all know Godi Media will not cover this.

The dictatorship started in 2014, and now we are realising that. BJP should not come into power again otherwise India will be same as Russia/ China.

Thanks for bringing an important news. But fyi, He is not the real Phunsukh Wangdu. That character was completely fictional.

Yes but it was inspired by Sonam Wangchuck

Can say loosely inspired. But it was not based on him

Sonam Wangchuk is the Kejriwal of Ladakh.

He's making noise because elections are near and his bosses didn't give him the Magsaysay award for sitting silently on such occasions.

No one cares about his drama because people in general know this except the liberals in whose circles he's celebrated because he(duh!) inspired some movie character in a movie sponsored by the same bosses.

"Sonam Wangchuck, the pride of Ladakh! Unrelenting spirit, that's how change happens. BJP, tum Mile toh hum hain, na bolo toh tum nahi."

who cares?.. in our country there will always be some one protesting.. all other states have federal power. Is the environment clean and green. This whole notion that state having individual power will somehow clean up things. instead of protesting , he could have tried improving civic sense among people. That would have had more impact than what ever he is asking for.

i think NE and ladakhi people get too much benefit wrt central indian tribals . Ladakhis are not paying any income tax , lot of them are super rich . Their protest is mostly stemming from xenophobia which is pretty common in all states

if ladakh gets 6th schedule all tribals everyhwere should get it . not only the fair skin ones

Ladakh protest needs more of your attention

Since no major media houses from any side of political spectrum are giving it appropriate attention that it deserves, I'm trying to share my understanding with the hope that more people look into it.

All is not well in Ladakh

Not sure how many of you have heard about this. People in Ladakh are angry and agitated about the false promises of the modi govt.

Sonam Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike to bring the govt’s attention.
