Summary
The communications blackout in Kashmir is so total that some people there don't even know that India rewrote its constitution to strip the region of its political autonomy, local reporters said. Security services have placed checkpoints all around the region, and there is no way to get past them, said Muzamil Jaleel, an Indian Express editor who was in Kashmir at the time of the blackout. Sagarika Ghose, a consulting editor with The Times of India, said: "Other than blocking journalists' access, the government has humiliated the people of Kashmir by shutting down their entire state."
