Ladakhis in J&K and Ladakh are demanding autonomy and statehood following the abrogation of Article 370. They are protesting against broken promises and the lack of representation in governance. Educationist and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk recently ended his 21-day hunger strike in support of the movement. The Ladakhis are also concerned about the rapid pace of development projects and their impact on the environment. The government has been reluctant to meet their demands, but the protests continue.
