Indian Activist Wangchuk Urged to End Hunger Strike Over Exam Paper Leaks Sonam Wangchuk, an Indian engineer turned activist, has been on a 17 day hunger strike at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar observatory.
His protest is a rare display of defiance against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's long standing rule and has sparked both sympathy and concern among India's youth.
