Social activist Sonam Wangchuk became a prominent supporter of India’s student protest in June–July 2026. He joined the demonstration in June and began a hunger strike in solidarity with the demand for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation. His weeks-long fast drew wider attention and support to the Cockroach Janta Party-led movement, and his forcible removal by police from the protest grounds in July helped turn the protest into a much larger nationwide movement.
