Frailty and Fervor in India's Hunger Strike The scorching summer heat of Delhi has little effect on Sonam Wangchuk, a 59 year old activist who has lost a staggering 8.
2kg on his 16th day of hunger strike at Jantar Mantar. This frail figure has captured the nation's attention as he fights for what he believes in.
Wangchuk's protest is part of the online satirical movement Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which aims to bring down Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over a paper leak in an entrance exam for aspiring doctors.
