Why Is Ladakh Burning? Sonam Wangchuk’s Arrest & The Truth Behind Protests

Ladakh, once seen as India’s most peaceful region, is now in turmoil. On 24th September 2025, violent clashes in Leh claimed 4 lives and left over 70 injured. Soon after, activist and innovator Sonam Wangchuk - globally known for his environmental work and inspiration for 3 Idiots’ Phunsuk Wangdu - was arrested under the National Security Act (NSA). Why are Ladakhi youths and citizens protesting? • Statehood Demand: Ladakh wants to be a full-fledged state instead of a Union Territory. • 6th Schedule Inclusion: To protect tribal land, culture, and environment. • Unemployment & Economic Crisis: Lack of jobs post-Article 370 abrogation. • Ecological Concerns: Massive solar projects and rapid urbanization threatening fragile Himalayan ecology. In this video, I break down the reasons, background, and implications of the Ladakh protests, Sonam Wangchuk’s arrest, and what this means for India’s democracy & federal structure. 👉 Share your thoughts in the comments: Should Ladakh be given Statehood & 6th Schedule protection?
