#87 Sonam Wangchuk - Revolutionary Voice of Ladakh: Fighting for Indigenous Rights & Climate Justice in the Himalayas
In this electrifying episode, Ramon Magsaysay Award winner Sonam Wangchuk—the real-life inspiration for “Phunsukh Wangdu” in 3 Idiots—shares his vision for radical educational reform, climate justice, and sustainable revolution. Recorded before his recent detention under India’s National Security Act, Wangchuk’s insights feel prophetic as he faces imprisonment for leading peaceful protests demanding Ladakh’s statehood and environmental protection. From his unschooled childhood in a five-household Ladakhi village to pioneering ice stupas and solar-heated schools, he reveals how mother-tongue learning, hands-on innovation, and compassionate teaching can transform communities. Discover the origins and ambitions of his “I Live Simply” movement, a global crowdsourced pledge platform where lifestyle changes—rather than money—become measurable contributions to healing our planet.
