and Sonam Wangchuk sir did.

but are we, the 'victims' supporting him? while he's fighting literally till his last breath.

​Are you actually kidding me? The level of privilege, stupidity, and disconnect required to reduce a man's agonizing, life-threatening sacrifice to a "weight loss trend" and "clout-chasing" is mind-boggling.

​Let's get one thing straight:

Sonam Wangchuk had **absolutely zero need** to go through that kind of intense physical pain just to get famous. He was already a household name and a highly celebrated global figure decades before this.

​For the uneducated and the willfully ignorant, let me spell out exactly who he is:

A Visionary Engineer & Educator: He is the man who revolutionized education in Ladakh through SECMOL (Student's Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh), giving a future to thousands of students who were failed by a rigid system.

The Global icon :He won the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award also called Asia's Nobel Prize and the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture. His life and innovations literally inspired the character of 'Phunsukh Wangdu' in the movie 3 Idiots. He didn't need a hunger strike for fame; he already had it globally.

An Eco-Pioneer: He invented the Ice Stupa; artificial glaciers that store winter water to solve the massive water crisis for Ladakhi farmers in the spring.

​He didn't do any of this for likes, views, or a slim waistline. He did it because he loves his homeland.

​And what did he sacrifice? He put his own body on the line. He went on a grueling climate fast, today literally marks the 19th day, surviving only on water and salt. He literally pushed his internal organs to the brink of failure. He willingly chose to suffer immense physical trauma, not for himself, but to protect the fragile ecology of Ladakh, safeguard its indigenous culture, and demand the constitutional rights promised to his people under the Sixth Schedule.

​To look at a man starving himself to death for his country and his people, and to dismiss it as a "clout-chasing diet plan," is disgusting.

These pictures are so "Titli " coded

The lamps are ablaze

you laze upon a bed with stout ivory legs

and five fine qualities

your broad chest draped in flower garlands

rests upon the breasts

of Nappinnai

her hair entwined

with heavy blossoms

Please answer us.

lovely woman with large eyes

darkened with kohl

how much longer

will you prevent himThe lamps are ablaz

will you prevent him

from rising?

We know

you can’t bear to be apart

from your beloved

for a single instant

But this does not befit you

it is unfair

from rising?

We know

you can’t bear to be apart

from your beloved

for a single instant

But this does not befit you
