Sonam Wangchuk Arrested Under NSA: Modern Gandhi of Ladakh Faces State Suppression

Modern Gandhi of Ladakh Arrested by the Government

🔧 Who is Sonam Wangchuk?

Born in 1966 in Uleytokpo, Ladakh, Wangchuk faced no schools until age 9. Yet he pushed through, studied mechanical engineering at NIT Srinagar, and co-founded SECMOL — a movement to reform education in Ladakh 🏫.
This isn’t just a school; it’s a revolution, teaching life skills, leadership, and sustainable innovation.


❄️ Innovating for Survival

Wangchuk invented the Ice Stupa — an artificial glacier that stores winter water as ice for farmers in the dry summer months.
A simple idea saving thousands of lives, yet the government often ignores his genius 🌍.


⚡ The Arrest: National Security Act (NSA)

In 2025, during protests demanding statehood for Ladakh, Wangchuk became a central figure.
The government slapped him with the National Security Act (NSA) 😡 — detained without proper trial.

His wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, had to petition the Supreme Court to even get info on his health and detention conditions.

Tragically, during these protests, a Kargil War veteran soldier was killed by police action — not by Pakistan. A man who fought for India in the war, now dies at home in a protest meant to demand justice ⚠️.


🏛️ What’s Happening Here?

This isn’t politics — this is the state silencing a voice of reason.
A man representing Gandhi’s valuesnon-violence, education, innovation, community service — is targeted because he challenges BJP policies.

Meanwhile, baseless claims about his allegiance are being spread to confuse the public — truth is being buried.
