The public sentiment is highly polarized regarding Sonam Wangchuk and the demands for Ladakh’s statehood. A strong majority expresses solidarity with Wangchuk, viewing him as a hero advocating for the rights of Ladakhis against perceived governmental oppression and authoritarianism. While many voice urgent calls for statehood and representation, there is significant criticism of the government's heavy-handed tactics, leading to frustrations and fears over civil rights and democracy in India. Some dissenting voices frame Wangchuk as a provocateur, reflecting the division in public opinion.

# It was completely taken out of context but not by accident. They did it deliberately to frame him.

They even went so far as to treat "Food sovereignty" as national sovereignty or something, Was it simply because the authorities are uninformed and lack a true understanding of what "food sovereignty" really means?

The 3 most important lies that BJP IT cell immediately started spreading as soon as the violence broke out..
1.Pakistan visit of sonam wangchuk...
2.statement in which he's saying that people of ladakh will let the Chinese army enter.
3.FCRA notice 2007 served to SECMOL(his NGO).
Reality
1.His pakistan visit was never a secret,he went there to attend a CLIMATE CONFERENCE,where he praised Our beloved PM.
2.The statement is actually a clipped version,from the original one..
3.Notice was legal and actually served to his NGO,but in 2013 the court gave a clean chit to this allegation.

Just to put Ladakh’s “statehood” demands in perspective:

Ladakh (2021–23):

Direct Tax: ~₹0.02–0.06 crore

GST: ₹13–15 crore

Total Revenue: almost entirely central funding


Goa (2024–25 estimates):

Direct Tax: ₹1,148–1,410 crore

GST: ₹1,036–1,439 crore

Total Revenue: ₹2,172 crore



Ladakh generates virtually no tax revenue on its own and survives almost entirely on Delhi’s funding. Goa, by contrast, has a strong, self-sustaining economy.

So what exactly would statehood or Sixth Schedule powers realistically give Ladakh? More bureaucracy and local control over decisions that could slow down critical border infrastructure, while the UT still depends on central funds for survival.

Honestly, demanding statehood here feels more like political theater than a practical solution.

idiot_idol

Ladakh just got relief by seperating from Kashmir.For security reasons ,they shouldn't be given statehood.They enjoy reservation at central educational institutions and job because of this union territory status .You can't greedily ask for statehood and reservation based on union territory status 

Kanakapurahogrider17

Isn't defence a central subject? How will statehood affect it?

Isn't Rajasthan sharing borders with Pakistan? Isn't Sikkim sharing borders with China? 

All arguments in the name of security are mere preposterous polarizing statements.

ScoopMugDizzy

Jab national security ke naam par apke ghar ujad diye jayein, apke pet par laat lage, apki dharohar samapt ho jaye, apko alternative livelihood na mile, apko 'sacrifice' kr dia jaye for 'nation building' without just and adequate compensation (not only monetary but also social, political and cultural), tab these arguments are thrown out of the window.

Pussyless_Penis

This is what actually happens when the govt sideline the indigenous people of a particular area , treating them like they don't exist . Leh has no income because the govt simple doesn't want much involvement there or else the tourist industry can really give them geographical identify of the place and people. They never listened when they had peaceful agitation. The centre is busy playing hindu vs muslim that everything is sideline

amuAtna

First thing, who are arguing for statehood and supporting it

1. First check ladakh population 
Its around 3 lakh

Least populated state of india is  mizoram with 10 Lakh 
( not counting sikkim as it was merged from a separate country in india , and not a created state)

Now please tell me statehood for such a small population makes administrative sense ?

3 lakh population cities have municipalities not even corporations - the state is much beyond them

2. Once ladakh becomes a state centre will lose law and order, and land rights 
Which centre needs for defence 
3. They want tribal rights - 6th schedule - that would practically stop development, like it did in northeast, make all ladakhi irrespective of caste , income eligible for ST and in turn quota in central government jobs 

4. The state hood is not the  answer, what they need a law to protect the environment and local Right 
Which i suppose can be better with setting up empowered autonomous council

Alert_Holiday5552

OP can you write a single paragraph that isn't chat gpt

stonedlawstudent

 They want statehood like j&amp;k ,Ladakh (~3 lakh) cannot have statehood like Jammu &amp; Kashmir (~12 million) because of its small population, strategic location bordering China and Pakistan, and the need for direct central oversight for security. Unlike Kashmir, which historically had autonomy and a large population justifying statehood, Ladakh’s residents are better served through strong central governance, constitutional safeguards, and development support while remaining a Union Territory under central control.The Ladakh protests must stop ,six lives lost and 80+ injured show that destruction of property and violence cannot justify unreasonable demands.

ansh26111030

If j&amp;k can be a ut with legislature then why can't ladakh be and don't give argument that less population and all so what still there are people living their and they deserve a democratic system

Binary_zero_one

He is directly responsible for the violence in Ladakh. His provocative speeches and propaganda escalated tensions, resulting in the destruction of public property, vehicles, 6 deaths, and more than 90 injuries. Such actions cannot be justified and he must be held accountable.

As for the statehood demand, Ladakh’s population is barely 3 lakh, which is far too small to sustain a full state administration. More importantly, Ladakh’s strategic location,bordering both China and Pakistan ,requires direct central oversight to ensure national security. This is why the region was made a Union Territory after being separated from Jammu &amp; Kashmir in 2019.Statehood would not only create an unnecessary bureaucratic structure but also increase costs, open doors to political misuse, and weaken central control in a highly sensitive border region. The people of Ladakh are better protected through strong central governance, constitutional safeguards, and targeted development initiatives while remaining a Union Territory.

First, Ladakh’s leaders demanded separation from J&amp;K and Union Territory status ,now they are demanding full statehood. These shifting demands are unreasonable and cannot be granted by the central government.

Key_Curve4163

Traditional-Tiger916

Arre bhai statehood is people want their own say in the government they run they are not asking for separate country.its like for eg Gujarat as a state if tomorrow it's declared union territory would the people like it. So whatever excuse given nobody wants a dictatorship like government where everything is centrally controlled.

Although I can shread each and every one of your arguments easily in no time. 

I am really curious to know how you are going to defend the following argument. 

Sonam Wangchuk is not asking anything new here. He is asking Govt to fulfill their own promice which they had made before elections in Ladhak . 
If there were so many drawbacks to their demands of 6th schedule or state hood. Shouldn't the government have told the people of ladhak well in advance that such demands are not feasible? 
This just tells that people of Ladhak have been scamed in name of elections and false promices.

Congratulations op on learning a new word today.

Nah, f off, you're wrong. 

Let the Ladakhi people run their stare, not Delhi. 

Bjp has a habit of ignoring people and their rights, and demeaning and dehumanizing them when they protest, then calling everything either pakistani or american conspiracy. Lol. One day everyone will rise up against this government.

If granting Ladakh statehood would cave the Centre money, why not just grant the demand?

On August 5, 2019, the Modi government abrogated Article 370, which revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories (UTs): Jammu &amp; Kashmir and Ladakh. This move was welcomed by many in Ladakh, who saw it as liberation from J&amp;K's dominance, where Ladakh had been treated as a peripheral district. However, the government made several specific promises to address Ladakh's concerns about autonomy, cultural preservation, and development. These were outlined in the BJP's 2019 Lok Sabha election manifesto, parliamentary speeches (e.g., by Home Minister Amit Shah), and subsequent announcements. Below is a summary of the key promises, based on official and reported statements from that time.

#### 1. **Inclusion Under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution**
   - **Promise**: Grant Ladakh autonomous political structures through the Sixth Schedule, which applies to tribal areas and allows for elected Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) with powers over land, forests, jobs, and local governance to protect indigenous rights from external influx.
   - **Context**: This was a core manifesto commitment for the Ladakh parliamentary constituency, aimed at safeguarding Buddhist and tribal heritage. Amit Shah reiterated in Parliament that Ladakh's "unique identity" would be preserved.
   - **Status Note**: Recent protests (2024–2025) highlight this as unfulfilled, with demands for implementation.

#### 2. **Creation of Ladakh as a Separate Union Territory**
   - **Promise**: Elevate Ladakh to a full-fledged UT with its own legislature (initially discussed as statehood, but settled as UT status), freeing it from J&amp;K oversight and enabling direct central funding and administration.
   - **Context**: Ladakhis had long demanded separation; the abrogation fulfilled this, with assurances of "equal rights and opportunities" for locals.

#### 3. **Protection of Culture, Land, and Employment Rights**
   - **Promise**: Strict safeguards under Article 371F (extended from Sikkim model) or equivalent to prevent outsiders from buying land, taking jobs, or altering demographics, ensuring 100% reservation for locals in government posts.
   - **Context**: Shah emphasized in his August 5, 2019, Rajya Sabha speech that the move would end "discrimination" and promote "inclusive development" while respecting Ladakh's Buddhist-majority ethos.

#### 4. **Accelerated Infrastructure and Economic Development**
   - **Promise**: A special development package worth over ₹45,000 crore (announced shortly after), focusing on:
     - Connectivity: Zojila Tunnel, all-weather roads, Bilaspur-Manali-Leh railway, and airport upgrades.
     - Tourism and Industry: Boost eco-tourism, handicrafts, and incentives for green industries to create jobs.
     - Power and Water: Solar projects and irrigation to address harsh winters.
   - **Context**: Modi highlighted in speeches that abrogation would unlock "trillions in investments" for Ladakh's growth, transforming it into a tourism hub.

These promises were positioned as part of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" (development for all), with the government claiming the abrogation integrated Ladakh fully into India while addressing regional aspirations. However, as of 2025, Ladakh's ongoing protests (led by figures like Sonam Wangchuk) focus on unfulfilled autonomy commitments, amid issues like land rights and climate vulnerabilities.

If the worries is about tax payers money,  then people in North have nothing to worry.  Bulk of the taxes collected by center is spent in the north. If any additional taxpayers money is to be diverted to Ladakh it will be from Maharashtra,  Karnataka or Tamil Nadu. 


The people of these States will tell you thT they're happy to fund Ladakh over UP/Bihar

Sudden-Check-9634

You are labelling all local people as anti national. And that is wrong.

There are many border states that have there own local govt. And things are fine with military and central govt.

Nature_Spirit-_-

Nothing in India, but for some small district for the national capital, should be a UT. 

It's horseshit. Central administration isn't a feature but a bug. You have no political autonomy to run your affairs and the central government is running a country, you are not their focus.

It's pretty basic, have somebody you have elected who will be accountable to you in 5 years.

parthvader89

Why is this a topic when Central government had admitted to Supreme Court that they will soon convert it to State anyways. Why the delay and resistance in that today?

Live_Diamond9909

Reasonable or not doesn't matter. It's a democracy, if the people want statehood so they shall get. 

Fiscally, ladakh is doing much better than bihar  and it's neighbours, just a lower vote bank. Someone in Delhi can't know anything about ground work in Ladakh. 

Being a bordering state with increasing chinese encroachment, any forceful means to supress it will only make another manipur, arunachal, bengal, tamil nadu or punjab. But of course our idiotic politicians don't understand or just can't care for it because they don't have much of a votebank in ladakh.

Final_Coconut6142

BJP has turned peaceful Ladakh into another kashmir by not listening to peaceful protests. China will take full advantage of the anger of ladakhi youth. Wait for 50 years.

Warm_Ball_2319

The British used to give such lame excuses when Indians used to ask for self governance

Useful-Blueberry9950

The demand is for representation. Why did the govt shoot down 4 protestors and a dozen more are critical at the hospital, when this was the first time ever that a mob got rowdy. For context, it’s is one of the most heavily military deployed regions in the world and absolutely no conflicts. The Ladakhis are very peaceful by nature. 

Now even if they burnt/ vandalised buildings, what gave this govt the audacity to shoot down people. The only incident I can think of is the chauri-chaura. t’s because Leh has one MP seat, and it doesn’t matter to the centre. 

Now after this, when Sonam Wangchuk is blamed and no one held accountable, where will the people turn to for justice for the dead. No where. And who will redress their grievances of melting glaciers and  erosion of local culture, no one. 

One can argue over what can be given and how much. But the murdering of protestors is going to be a watershed moment in this region. In terms of how they perceive mainland India, the army, and outsiders in general. This was a very stupid move for a border sensitive region.

RigaTriesThis

Oh maybe OP thinks Delhi handling law, infra and development is a good thing. But for a climate sensitive area, locals want more involvement in what “investment” is being made. Law and order in Delhi’s hands has already shown its result. 4 killed in a protest. Local councils have no teeth and their decision not binding. 
Ladakh is tax exempt (bet OP isn’t as aware as he tries to come across as) because the region is harsh and it’s a border area so habitation is encouraged. Also nil state services, no water pipelines, no sewage lines, barely bus services, no trains,… you get it. The cost of living is very high. For perspective, tomatoes cost Rs. 80 in the best season. It goes upwards of 200 in winters. 
So yeah, the statehood isn’t for money. It’s for governance. Bet you forgot what democracy is about.

Why cant ladakh get ut w legislature status?

Big-Cauliflower-2826

Please STOP changing the narrative, the MAIN demand has ALWAYS been the 6th Schedule, BJP even mentioned it in the manifesto, but now when they are reminding the govt of their promise they are anti national and nothing is "reasonable"? Do we really get to decide whats "reasonable" for some other region and what's not? Please stop pretending as if you didn't know about them literally just asking the govt to withhold their promise.

BhindiLover21

JaguarIcy1282

From what I've understood by reading your post. You are basically saying that Statehood is fatal for both economy and strategic sustenance.

I would like to point out the other part of the coin you completely ignored.

As long as I get it, Ladakh isn't exclusive to strategic sensitivity. Arunachal, Manipur, etc., are all vulnerable (both internally and externally), and yet they have statehood (Mizoram, Meghalay, etc., with 6th schedule).
Little did these states cause any strategic fallout against China (If we ignore the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, Myanmar. Something centre should address, under "National security" narrative as usual).

Statehood not necessarily mean "veto" power. Centre can continue its jurisdiction over national interests within the states. It does bring bureaucratic delays, red tapes, etc., but I suppose, having these is actually more convenient than state-people trust decay. Also, there's a fallacy in your reasoning: gaining statehood not necessarily stops union funding. 

Their demand is rooted in feeling alienated, no representation of their needs (literally, from 4 to 0 MLAs), little say on sensitive ecology, and intuitively — fearing extinction on their own land.

You completely ignored socio-political perspective, so did the cabinet. The demands of statehood, the legislation, are very clear signs that they feel voiceless.
Small population should never cause denial of democratic representation, at all.

Ladakh is indeed a unique case relative to other border-sensitive states. Henceforth, the very reason why perceptiveness is needed; not dismissal.

I think Ladakh should be given UT with legislature but the border,defence &amp; some sort of infrastructure should be in the hands of the central government .

Every few months we have a national tradegy which wipes itself off in another few weeks. its very clear that some powers want us to be in perpetual flex and doubt our governments. Too much money and attention goes into this. Let the ladakh govt for once sorr it out.

puran_poli_pirate

 They are demanding statehood like j&amp;k ,Ladakh (~3 lakh) cannot have statehood like Jammu &amp; Kashmir (~12 million) because of its small population, strategic location bordering China and Pakistan, and the need for direct central oversight for security. Unlike Kashmir, which historically had autonomy and a large population justifying statehood, Ladakh’s residents are better served through strong central governance, constitutional safeguards, and development support while remaining a Union Territory under central control.The Ladakh protests must stop ,six lives lost and 80+ injured show that destruction of property and violence cannot justify unreasonable demands.

once given (IF) statehood it will also become like jnk in coming years more Chinese influence on its people and very much posible terror attacks it will become a big headache for india 
some times force is needed to keep things under control

Old-Policy-2647

Just give the districr councils some more autonomy through an act it has a negligible population to get statehood.

On Instagram people are saying that in his schools it is taught to be anti national. As if they live here. Amd what sort of blame game is this? I swear this is so so so infuriating. And also some illiterates are saying if statehood is granted china will interfere in their elections and will elect a representative who is chinese puppet and infiltrate rest of india. I mean the logic!!

It’s easy to label anyone as an Anti National, it’s just another way of doing things. 

The current imbroglio is a because both sides became rigid &amp; the state which has all the powers has used them. 

If you have a hammer then every problem seems a nail. 

Ladakh needs Administrators not politicians, only thing Sonam Wangchuk did wrong was that he got hogtied into politics. 

Remember “POLITICS IS THE LAST REFUGE OF SCOUNDREL” 

This just shows that the LG is incapable &amp; incompetent. Ladakh needs Administrators not political appointees who are out to pasture.

He did say that if china invaded ladakh then we will welcome them, this is after India had to face so much enmity with China for giving refuge to dalai lama and his tibetian government in exile. Ofcourse the person is incredibly foolish and said all this on camera and uploaded it on internet. He is going to stay behind bars for long long time. There was an IIT professor called sharjeel imam who wanted to seperate northeast from India and he has been behind bar ms for more than 6 years now and he won’t getting out anytime soon. So avoid saying such things
