i laughed and i hate myself
Sonam Wangchuk is on hunger strike. He has said that he’ll go six weeks or die if the govt doesn’t act. meanwhile the govt doesn’t seem to give a fuck that’s not the joke tht got me
Side note: is it not also such a familiar Indian thing? When there’s an issue that’s anti-government everyone with real power and reach become tight-lipped and very careful. Celebs with the biggest status (a list) usually have the most to lose by pissing off the govt off. So the acknowledgment of anti-incumbency issues like this usually comes from actors/public figures that are (more often than not) liberal-left leaning people who are willing to say something, but maybe not powerful enough for their saying something to become a real threat.
And i don’t mean to diminish that. Saying something is still better than pretending nothing is happening.
and THEN. in the middle of all that. soni razdan wrote him a poem.
she means well i think,genuinely. Probably just her way of giving thoughts and prayers but it’s giving.. i don’t even know why its just so hilarious to me. "Dear Sonam Wangchuk
For your health we all do pray Please do not leave us in this way Please live to fight another day Please stay. Please end your fast today" maybe because it is funny, in the worst possible way. because what else are you supposed to do when the situation is this absurd? when wangchuk might die if he doesn’t eat and the govt is silent and the rest are left with poems and ig posts and concern that has nowhere to go?
ANYWAY D government need to give a fuck that he might die.
Sonam you should just eat. if students dying, ed system collapsing, young people losing faith in the only system they were told would save them is still not enough to make people in power move, then nothing really can.
