Wangchuk’s 20-Day Hunger Strike | Global News

Sonam Wangchuk, the inspirational educator behind “Three Idiots,” is on his 20th day of a dangerous hunger strike, now weighing nine kilograms less and barely able to stand, demanding the Education Minister’s resignation over a leaked exam paper. As his health plummets—with doctors warning he may die within 48 hours—the Delhi High Court is set to hear a petition for forced feeding to save his life. Despite pleas from celebrities, politicians, and activists urging him to stop for his own sake, Wangchuk vows to see the protest through. His movement, led by the Cockroach Janta Party, has drawn solidarity from others, including one already hospitalized, and plans escalating actions, including a nationwide hunger strike and a march to Parliament.
