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.
I understood bcz I spent time listening& recording their stories, it made me more conscious & willing to fight a battle. I hope you take some time too and listen to these #VoicesfromKashmir which are available @NetShutdowns & @SFLCin to understand why we should #LetTheNetWork
