ALL IS WELL V/S ALL IS NOT WELL
Whether you are a movie lover or not, it doesn’t matter. Most of the people have seen Three Idiots and got influenced. Even today, mentors are using dialogues from this movie to motivate their influencers. And honestly, we felt engaged just within a second. This movie is not based on an imaginary scenario; the inspiration came from a man, Sonam Wangchuk. He is an Indian engineer, climate activist, and education reformer from Ladakh, best known as the founding director of the SECMOL campus and for inventing the “Ice Stupa” artificial glacier to solve regional water shortages. We need this man for us. He is so selfless in the matter of bringing betterment to India as well as the world.
A HOT TAKE!
From 28th june he is on a hunger strike for the demand of the resignation of the education minister and care about students’ welfare. It’s more than 20 days; in a critical stage of his health, he is hoping for the Government to accept his demand, which shapes our world’s future through the wings of our country’s youth.
Now take this example on you: you are a person whose biopic was already made decades before, who got rewarded nationally and internationally. You can visit any country anytime; then are you even bothered what’s going on around you? ssssshhhhhh……..don’t answer; only think what you would do!
This man has all the facilities which I recently mentioned above, but he is doing a hunger strike; isn’t it strange! There are so many ways of demanading somthing to Government, but he knew our history, our tradition; that’s why he chose the path of ultimatum instead of any other way. Also, he is a soul full of positivity because he knew there are people like Jatindranath Das, Guru Das Agarwal, Irom Sharmila; they followed this path, and their demand remained unfulfilled, and they died; the Government really don’t bother for any one of them.
But Mahatma Gandhi undertook 18 fasts during his lifetime and achieved major historical shifts; the Government agreed with his demand so many times. Maybe Sonam Wangchuk considers this Gandhian philosophy and followed his way, and he indeed considers himself a responsible citizen who should have followed a kind of path where all the youths get motivated and utilise their power for the stabilisation of democracy in a peaceful way. In this way, he doesn’t get stuck anywhere in his life journey where he started in Ladakh. He chose peace over violence; he always considers conversation beause its a sign of cognitive intelligence. If people speak from their heart, whether it’s a different aspect from the Government, that means they are considering democracy as their home, which is a matter of appreciation, obviously.
He is a person who chose Gandhian philosophy instead of Godse; it’s enough to understand his mindset that he loves the path of truth; if he had to walk alone, it doesn’t matter. His hope and peaceful protest give remembrance of that poem:
Indeed, a single drop of water cannot quench someone’s thirst, but it is also true that rivers cannot be formed without drops coming together………………………
Basically, this poem highlights the importance of small efforts and shows that even an ocean begins with a single tiny drop.
Now the point is, if someone is doing a hunger strike for the betterment of India as well as the world, as a citizen, what is our duty towards his sacrifice? He is now in Jantar Mantar, in Delhi. Should we go to join him, or do we need to do a hunger strike too,……………nope, nothing is required which is beyond your capacity, but we can use our brain; we can speak at least through the platform of social media; in that sense, the Government has felt the alert that Sonum Wangchuk is the representative of us. Along with his protest, our mindset also needs to reach our Government. This is the way from history that the Government will be stirred when people are being non-negotiable.

The tragedy is, we the people of India love sensation more than action and consequences in a patent way. Especially the youth who follow the Coackraoach Janta Party blindly and over night its cross the 15 million because it’s full of sensation. The news continues, just like trending topics, and till the time another one comes, we forget to ask what the consequences of that # trending news and goverment new our mind, so whenever they commit something, they replace that news with another news, and we again follow the sensation.
I think it’s the problem of our taste, short-term impatience, and lack of sympathy and empathy, and also being very, very commercial rather than sincere. That is why the government also knew that the protest of Sonum Wangchuk is just trending news; if he failed, then they replaced his contribution with another juicy news, and all the entertainers will be happy with that sensation. That’s why goverment don’t bother much, and if we, the people of India, are just unaware about our future, thousands of humans like Sonum Wangchuk will not be able to figure out the soultion of this prolems, its sad but unavoidable.
The taste of the people decrese heniously its proved once again when we don’t even spare Sonum Wangchuk to make a fool of him, and also we felt proud to make memes like this; we think it’s a great utilisation of humour.
And the example: the cockroach fan following just became a sensation for them; that’swhy they are following blindly, but now the situation is even where Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the CJP deeply involved with Sonum Wangchuk in Jantar Mantar; there are 30% followers of CJP showing interest in this hunger strike and keeping updates about the government steps. Actually, they don’t get sensation; it’s a kind of peaceful protest that doesn’t give dopamine so easily, and people don’t have patience to get dopamine slowly. So they just felt uninterested in it. It’s sad but true, but if its beacme a violence and protesters use weapons, then the following members this time crossed the CJP subscriber.
But once again, knowing all the facts, Sonum Wangchuk treats himself for all of us. He is a leading example that if you want to change, then you need to change yourself first. All the sacrifices you have to do selflessly, and even you can not expect things from others because what you do should be your choice, and what I am doing should depend on my choice, but the purpose obviously shapes our intention to choose. So, we need to work on our taste, patience, our rights, and learn to feel sincerity over titillation; that’s how our dopamine is also increasing its release time in a very patient way.
One last thing, but not the least, we can be optimistic, which is Sonum Wangchuk’s agenda, whose behaviour always proved that hope gives us energy, energy gives us spirit, spirit gives us the ability to lead the path of truth, and truth is the only thing that wins. History again and again proved it that yes somtimes its take a longer route, but untimately its has the power to destroy all things which are based on falsehood. It could be an empire of a Monarch or a government of any country.
Truth always triumphs and destroys all lies and establishes itself.
