what are your thoughts on sonam wangchuk going on hunger strike regarding exams and BJP not responding at all? Is it something induced by CJP? And why is government silent? People are heavily questioning
About Sonam Wangchuk, he has gone on multiple hunger strikes for the statehood for Ladakh and the Sixth Schedule. For those of you who don't know what Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India is, it's a special provision that grants administrative autonomy to the tribal populations of India. This means that these decentralised administrative bodies, rather than Indian government, are the ones holding courts, dispensing justice, and collecting taxes. It also means that nobody from outside can own land there, and if a woman marries outside her tribe, she loses her right to land. The reason why it has not been granted to Ladakh is because Ladakh is a border state with high security concerns, infrastructure goals, and also it would set legal precedent that could lead to a domino effect.
What do I personally think? I think the government of India is absolutely right to not grant the Sixth Schedule to Ladakh and to ignore Mr. Wangchuk. I'm sorry but Indian internal security concerns are far greater than Mr. Wangchuk. I don't think Indians understand how important national security is. Mr. Wangchuk is trying to gain sympathy like Mahatma Gandhi by joining the CJP protest, but the key difference between the two is that at least Mahatma Gandhi walked through the whole land and reached out to communities (I have my personal opinions about this but it's for another time) and became almost deified because of the near monopoly he had over the Indian freedom struggle (his PR was really good), which is why his hunger strike worked. What is Mr. Wangchuk fighting for? Special rights to Ladakhis? Honestly, any state now can claim that they are tribal people and hold India at ransom. Mr. Wangchuk is also responsible for instigating riots which led to attacks on security personnel and deaths of multiple individuals in Ladakh. What you're seeing on social media is paid posts. I don't know if government of India is right or wrong in their non-response but it is for sure that if they had responded in for example the Shaheen bagh and Red Fort riots, the public opinion would've turned against the government. Indians are highly sensitive about government overreach on people, and are very emotional, some even have low impulse control. This is why you see highly emotional outbursts and nobody bothers to fact-check or learn about the situation. Which is why I do think that the current government chooses to stay silent, rather than taking action, hoping the criticism will die down.

I do think BJP needs to immediately up their game, make Amit Malviya, Pradhan, Gadkari step down and revamp their strategy. As for CJP, it'll die on their own because they have no strategy except relying on Dipke, and this is his genius strategy ⬇️
