The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution is meant for the protection of indigenous people of north-east India. Ladakh has got nothing to do with the Sixth Schedule. The founding fathers of the nation never intended the Sixth Schedule to be enforced on any other region in India with the exception of the north-east.
Mr. Sonam Wangchuk should study the debates and discussions of the Constituent Assembly.
Besides, who do the Ladakhis need “protection” from? Do they consider Indian citizens hailing from other states as threats? Do they look upon non-Ladakhis as unwanted outsiders?
Shame on Mr. Wangchuk and his supporters!
