AISA Maintains Student Politics Amid Hunger Strike
AISA, a student political group, is holding a hunger strike.
They are not seeking much attention and are staying quiet.
They believe in building awareness slowly.
On a very hot day, only a few people were at the camp.
Wangchuk, one of the strikers, is very weak but continues to fast.
A doctor is monitoring his health.
Rovin, an organizer, says the small number of people does not decide if the strike will continue.
AISA is different from newer groups that want quick attention.
AISA is holding a hunger strike with a restrained approach, focusing on long-term consciousness building.
The strike is on its 19th day, with Wangchuk fasting and monitored by psychiatrist Anjali Chhabria.
On 16 July, the camp had very few people due to the extreme heat of 42 degrees Celsius.
Rovin, an organizer, emphasizes that the small numbers do not decide the continuation of the strike.
AISA's approach contrasts with newer, louder student groups seeking immediate attention.
