Is Fast Unto Death Legal in India? | Sonam Wangchuk's Arrest Explained | Sarmad Mehraj | UPSC

Описание: In this video, India's Top Polity Educator Sarmad Mehraj examines the constitutional and legal framework governing hunger strikes and the right to protest in India. Using the recent developments involving Sonam Wangchuk's prolonged hunger strike and his removal to a hospital by Delhi Police, we discuss the competing constitutional principles of Article 19 (Freedom of Speech and Peaceful Assembly) and Article 21 (Right to Life). Authorities stated that medical intervention was necessary to protect his life, while supporters described the action as a curtailment of peaceful dissent.
