Prominent Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk has ended his 26-day hunger strike, which he undertook to protest against the widespread exam paper leaks affecting students. His decision to conclude the fast comes after assurances from the government, notably from Prime Minister Modi, regarding stricter measures on exam security. Wangchuk had stated that he would only end his fast if no punitive actions were taken against the student protesters. Demonstrations supporting Wangchuk’s cause have been held in various cities worldwide, emphasizing the need for education reforms and the protection of student rights. His health remains a concern, having lost significant weight during the fast, and he was recently hospitalized, raising questions about his well-being and the methods used by law enforcement regarding his protest.
