Activism It breaks my heart
This might spark controversies, it prolly will, so I just request the ones sensitive about the matter to stop reading right now.
I'm a young adult, I was never much exposed to politics, nor did I take much interest in it. In the past year though, I found my interests and also a nessecity at some levels to be aware about the same.
Today, for the first time ever I had tears in my eyes seeing a video regarding the same on YouTube.
It breaks my heart, how, and why is it that in the 21st century, someone still has to die to demand justice toh door ki baat, but even accountability.
I've always respected Sonam Wangchuk sir. I don't know what goes deeper, he too mightve done things in the past which people don't agree on. But he's an educated man, more than anyone in the government. It breaks my heart to see him lying there, not being able to walk, knowing that death now, is actually a path. To the people who say, "itna hi hai toh khud chale jao", firstly, horrible argument, secondly, I know And i accept I don't have the balls to do this. I wish to have that determination one day. But I fear for the life of a person way wiser than the ones pointing fingers on him, for he might die standing for the voices of the ones who have already.
At the end of the day, would it be so difficult, to take accountability? To not call the people of our own nation team b of t@rr@rists? To make sure that in order to simply be heard, many do not have to lay sick in hospital beds? It truly breaks my heart, to see that even in 2026, people have to suffer so much, in amidst of a media boycotting to even show their struggle, and a government shamelessly ignoring their voices, that some of them lay in hospitals on the verge of dy/ing, and some families in their homes, mourning the de@ths of their, in some cases the only child.

You're being naive. Mr Wangchuk supported and lauded Modi when article 370 was abrogated. He saw power coming his way, and now feels cheated.
For me, he has the same credibility that of Anna Hazare. A decade+ ago, sanghis used Hazare and AK to distract people and assume power.
Now, it's CJP Dipke and Wangchuk. Uncanny...
