End of Day 18 of #climatefast | Kya hum baimani se vishwaguru ban sakte hain
END OF DAY 18 OF #CLIMATEFAST I’m feeling bit better today. But deeply disturbed at the breach of trust that Ladakh witnessed from the Home Ministry. This disrespect for written manifestos will set the worst precedence in the nation. Already India ranks at a dismal 93rd position in honesty acc.Transparency International. Interestingly the countries that are at he top of the Transparency ranking are also at the top of the per capita income ranking… What does this imply!

His work on primary and secondary education in Ladakh is pioneering. Sonam has been protesting Modi Sarkar’s Ladakh policy by going on a 21-day hunger fast since March 6. Here are the demands being made by the Ladakhi population, who are on the streets in large numbers, threatening to take the protest to the northern border areas of Ladakh, where pastures are under threat from Indian corporate miners and solar investors as well as the Chinese. Do listen to Sonam in his own voice
Call to support Sonam Wangchuk: Assam civil society outfits draw Ladakh parallel
Two civil society organisations from Assam have drawn a parallel between Assam and Ladakh’s demands for constitutional safeguards while appealing for support towards climate activist Sonam Wangchuk’s call to observe a fast on Sunday “in solidarity with the people of Ladakh”.
The appeal to support Wangchuk’s call to fast was made by the Bharat Jodo Abhiyan, Assam, and Axom Nagarik Samaj during their joint meeting in Jorhat in connection with the upcoming general elections. The two organisations are backing the Opposition INDIA bloc and had on March 19 issued an appeal to the voters of Assam “to think and vote” to “save the Indian Constitution and democracy”….
