Backstory: Revisiting the Ruins of Kashmir’s Media Ahead of the Fourth Anniversary of August 5

A combination of media manipulation and military mobilisation marked those early days. As additional reinforcements of security forces were marched in to complement the estimated 700,000 Indian armed personnel permanently stationed in Kashmir (and this may be a gross underestimation), there was a media gag so impenetrable, so sudden, so cynical, so ruthless, that the entire region was blindsided.

In Kashmir, Respect for National Symbols Cannot Be Commanded By Fear

The Centre's relationship with J&K is not a humane one. It is a relationship of the strong and the weak. When the weak cannot scream, they register their resistance by remaining silent.

Interview: PDP President Mehbooba Mufti's take on Kashmir's plight, India's current situation and more

"Kashmir is no longer for Kashmiris. All the big contracts are being given to outsiders, to businessmen from Gujarat and Haryana and such places. Our businesses cannot match their wealth, so they are now subcontractors to outsiders. From sand to the big discovery of lithium, everything is being handed over to outsiders. And in a corrupt fashion. Apart from everything else, this is also the most corrupt government."

Lockdown, demonetisation to CAA, farm laws: How hasty policies have killed Indians

The costs of these measures have been high but their benefits are contested or unknown. Instead of accountability for deaths, there is authoritarian arrogance.
