Indian activist Wangchuk urged to end hunger strike over exam paper leaks
Summary
Sonam Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike in New Delhi since June 28 to protest repeated exam paper leaks and to back a youth-led political push calling itself the Cockroach Janta Party. Supporters and intermediaries are urging him to end the fast as pressure builds on authorities to respond to demands for accountability and reform.
Why it matters
A breakdown in exam integrity hits millions of young voters directly and can quickly become a legitimacy crisis for governments that rely on competitive testing to allocate jobs and education.
