Indira Gandhi ने खत्म करवाया था Sonam Wangchuk के पिता Wangyal का अनशन

On 18 July, the 21st day of Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike, Delhi Police removed him from the protest site at Jantar Mantar and shifted him to a hospital. Amid the controversy, an old photograph of Sonam Wangyal, Wangchuk's father, has gone viral on social media. The image is being shared with the claim that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi personally ended his hunger strike by offering him a soft drink. But what is the real story behind this photograph? In this video, we trace the remarkable life of Sonam Wangyal from his difficult childhood in Ladakh, his meeting with Jawaharlal Nehru, his political journey, and his role in the movement for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for Ladakh. We also explain the history of his 1982 and 1984 hunger strikes, Indira Gandhi's visit to Leh, and how Ladakh's tribal status was eventually granted in 1989. Finally, we compare the events of 1984 with what happened to Sonam Wangchuk in 2026, when no government representative met him and he was instead removed from the protest site by the police. Watch the full video to understand the history behind the viral image and the legacy of the Wangyal family. #SonamWangchuk #SonamWangyal #HungerStrike #IndiraGandhi #IndianExpressHindi Produced by: Indian Express Hindi Edited by: Raj
