Indian Activist Ends 26-Day Hunger Strike After Government Talks

Sonam Wangchuk, 59, stopped his 26-day hunger strike on July 23 after talks with the government, posting the news on X. He said he stopped to avoid violence. The protest in Delhi supported demands to fix education after repeated exam paper leaks. A day earlier, he had vowed to continue indefinitely. Police removed him and hospitalized him last Saturday. The deal depended on promises about how student protesters are treated.
