“Long Negotiations”: Sonam Wangchuk Ends Hunger Strike After 26 Days

Ladakh activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his hunger strike after 26 days following “long negotiations,” after calls grew over his rapidly worsening health. The engineer-turned-educational reformer had been demanding accountability over failures in India’s education system, while supporting youth-led protests connected to exam and policy grievances. Supporters said he consumed only salt and water during the strike. He was taken to medical care, and ministers met with him to resolve the standoff. The developments were framed as a path to dialogue rather than immediate victory.
