until what i love misses me and calls me in

Not because a man is protesting.

I’m angry because we’ve reached a point where someone believes starving is more powerful than speaking.

That, to me, is a failure.

We celebrate Chandrayaan. We celebrate Digital India. We celebrate becoming a global power.

And we should.

But what is the point of all that progress if people feel unheard?

How do we reach a point where a man believes risking his own life has a better chance of starting a conversation than simply speaking?

That thought should terrify us.

Maybe this isn’t just about Sonam Wangchuk anymore.

Maybe it’s about what we’ve normalized.

We’ve normalized waiting.

Waiting until someone’s health becomes breaking news. Waiting until hashtags start trending. Waiting until a protest turns into a countdown.

Only then do we start paying attention.

You don’t have to agree with every protest or every demand.

But if people repeatedly feel that pain is the only way to be noticed, then we should all be asking uncomfortable questions.

Because a democracy shouldn’t wait until someone’s body starts giving up before it starts listening.

Progress isn’t just about how high our rockets fly.

It’s also about how low a citizen has to fall before someone in power looks up.

I get it now. The youngsters for whom u refuse to take a stand are just here to fill your theatres and your own pockets.

Guys I dont care what your political standing is. I dont care whether you support bjp or congress but you cant deny that the government is utterly shameless for letting a man like Sonam Wangchuk starve himself just to have a dialogue with those in power. This man is literally fighting for something that is going to affect lakhs and lakhs of students across the country. And he doesnt even need to do it. But he is still out on the streets fighting for justice and our rights

You could hate CJP with everything that you have but dont let that hate blind you from the fact that a scientist, an innovator, the recipient of Ramon Magsaysay award is doing everything he can to reform the education system, to make the lives of students better.

Coming back to those 'heroes' who have done everything to sell patriotism on screen....where does it disappear when it comes to taking a public stand for your own country? You guys did not feel the problem when making a film based on Sonam Wangchuk's life. Then why are they silent now??? I could name so many celebrities rn - Akshay kumar( bhaisahab herogiri jaise fufu karne mai nahi hai vaise chup rehne mai bhi nahi hai), Aamir khan( ab samaja chatur chatur kyu tha - to all those ppl who are saying omi vaidya is an american citizen so he does not have anything to lose - bhai chup baitho..atleast he had the guts to speak up ) alia bhatt, varun dhawan, sachin tendulkar, katrina kaif, vicky kaushal, shah rukh khan and i could name so much more ????

annetwist: From this to this …. 🥰 What a weekend! Hard to get my heart in check .. from stating, back in 1996, that my little boy would end up on stage, doing what I had no idea, but his comedic timing, sunshine personality, and his beautiful soul was visible even then. How could I have possibly known then that he would break records doing exactly what he was put in this world to do, that he would grow up being the kind of man the world needs right now. My gorgeous girl, who has loved and protected him always, even when he was the annoying little brother to his quiet, studious big sister. I could not be prouder of you both, as humans, as siblings and as my babies. Knowing you are always there for me, but more importantly for each other … well that is my biggest achievement… and this is MY award 🥇 ❤️
