In this episode of TRPhobia, Nivedita dives into the curious case of Sonam Wangchuk and the media’s double standards. When Wangchuk praised the government’s move to revoke Article 370, he was hailed as a patriotic hero, with media outlets celebrating his “nationalist” stance. But the moment he raised his voice for the rights of Ladakhis and criticized the government’s policies affecting his own region, the narrative shifted dramatically. Suddenly, the same media that once lauded him started labeling him anti-national.
 
Nivedita explores this contradiction with sharp satire, highlighting how the media often swings between extremes, praising and vilifying personalities based on political convenience rather than facts. Through a mix of humor, irony, and incisive commentary, she exposes the absurdity of a system where a person’s patriotism is constantly judged by what side of the story they support.
 
The episode not only sheds light on Sonam Wangchuk’s experiences but also raises bigger questions about media credibility, journalistic integrity, and public perception in India. By presenting these issues in a satirical lens, Nivedita makes viewers reflect on the power dynamics between media, government, and citizens, and how narratives can be manipulated to fit convenience rather than truth.
