Prominent Indian activist and environmental campaigner Sonam Wangchuk has been taken to hospital after spending more than 20 days on a hunger strike in New Delhi, as concerns mounted over his deteriorating health. Authorities said the decision was taken following medical advice and a court directive aimed at protecting his wellbeing. Wangchuk, 59, began the hunger strike on June 28 in support of demands for education reforms and the resignation of India’s Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, following controversy surrounding examination paper leaks that affected millions of students. His protest attracted nationwide attention and generated widespread support on social media. According to police and hospital officials, Wangchuk’s health weakened significantly after nearly three weeks without food. Doctors have reported that he remains stable but requires continuous medical monitoring due to dehydration and the physical effects of prolonged fasting. https://yaroinsider.ng/2026/07/18/indian-activist-sonam-wangchuk-hospitalised-after-20-day-hunger-strike/

This kind of resolve is what is missing in Africa. Leaders and their victims lack resolve to solve problems or protest till problems are solved |

Ruke1991:I know that you just made this your comment after you have just finished consuming your Sunday rice and two pieces of meat.... Why not lead by example by going on a hunger strike and showing us your own resolve so that we can start following your example. |

Try this in Nigeria, and the next weekend, the Iya Alakara (mother of the bean cake seller) would organize a feast for the thieves you are going on hunger strike for at Aso Rock villa, while you hunger-strike to your grave.

In Nigeria, the politicians will tell you he’s an SUG president and we’re too much in the country. So they don’t care if he dies. |

Lazy. I've seen servants of God who had done 30 days fasting even with intense players. Though you can't do such without the help of the holy spirit |
