The people of India’s border states — Punjab, Kashmir, Manipur, Ladakh — have carried the weight of the nation’s survival for decades. They live with uncertainty, face hostile neighbors, and sacrifice daily for the country’s security.
And what do they ask in return? Protection of their culture, land, and rights under the 6th Schedule. Just one safeguard.
But instead of listening, the bjp government brands them “anti-national,” denies them their rights, and even silences voices like Sonam Wangchuk, whose only crime is demanding dignity for his people. This isn’t just arrogance — it’s betrayal.
Here’s why denying the 6th Schedule is more dangerous than delhi wants to admit.
1. Border States Are Not Begging — They’re Warning
The demand for the 6th Schedule is not charity. It’s survival. For Ladakh, Kashmir, Manipur, and Punjab, it’s about preserving culture, protecting fragile ecosystems, and preventing demographic erasure. Ignoring this is lighting a fuse under India’s borders.
2. From Defenders to Suspects
The very people who serve as India’s first shield against external threats are treated like suspects by the ruling party. Instead of gratitude, they get surveillance, suspicion, and branding as “anti-national.”
3. Ego Over Nation
What kind of government chooses ego over national unity? Denying the 6th Schedule doesn’t strengthen india — it weakens it by alienating loyal citizens who’ve held the line for generations.
4. Sonam Wangchuk: Silenced for Speaking Truth
An environmentalist, innovator, and activist, Sonam Wangchuk, asked for constitutional safeguards for Ladakh. The BJP’s answer? Detain him. Punish him. Muzzle him. When truth becomes a crime, arrogance becomes policy.
5. Generational Damage Is Already Done
Children in Ladakh, Kashmir, and Manipur are growing up seeing their parents humiliated by Delhi. This isn’t just today’s anger — it’s tomorrow’s rebellion. A government that breeds resentment in borderlands breeds long-term instability.
6. The Dangerous Message to the World
What does it signal internationally when border communities rise in protest against their own government? It tells neighbors and enemies that India’s frontlines are restless, neglected, and angry. That’s not nationalism — that’s national suicide.
7. The Brutal Truth: Give Them the 6th Schedule, Or Pay the Price
It’s simple: grant the 6th Schedule, respect border states, and release Sonam Wangchuk. Or watch generations lose faith in Delhi. The choice is not theirs anymore — it’s the government’s.
⚡ Mic-Drop Closing Line
A government that humiliates its border citizens is not defending india — it’s dismantling it from within. Give them the 6th Schedule. Free Sonam Wangchuk. Anything less is betrayal.
