Sonamji

Sonamji appears in Cockroaches 1, Modi 0: India’s remarkable protests as a veteran activist on a hunger strike supporting the demand that Dharmendra Pradhan resign. The source says plainclothes police removed him from a Delhi protest site to a government hospital on the twenty-first day of the strike.

The episode treats the removal as a catalytic event. Protesters described it as a kidnapping, and the source links the aftermath to a much larger mobilization around the Cockroach Movement, Education Accountability Protest, and Dissent Space Compression.
