I had a sense of impending zoom before the #4grestoration judgment was to be announced. I have been looking at how Kashmir has been dealing with this blackout for months and after talking to numerous people on the ground, I can see they have been losing hope.
As an outsider, sitting in an AC room with multiple sources of internet connectivity, I will never understand what it is to be there and not have a thousand distractions we use the internet for. The easiest way to cheer up is to stream an episode of Schitt's Creek or look up dogs
But being there when there is no internet, there is no sense of normalcy is another battle. A battle that none of us outside of that region can understand. It is very hard to be merely a witness to this and I can't imagine what it would be like to live through it.

When asked by the court that why is internet speed restricted to 2G only, the government has said in its reply that Internet is not a fundamental right as well as that the state can curb freedoms under 19(1)(g).
