Article 370 Abrogation: A Month of Terrifying Normalcy of Kashmir

The Quint  

In Kashmir, normalcy is when tourists come at the end of a bloody season, or if people drive to markets causing traffic jams when restrictions are relaxed. Or, where combat fatigued armed men and civilian clothed men and women co-exist in every corner. In 2013, a letter to inform that Afzal Guru’s mercy petition had been rejected and he would be executed on the 9th February, reached his family in Doabagh in Sopore, two days late. In 2019, choking off communicaton for an entire population, irrespective of their guilt is also argued as an effort towards avoiding violence and bringing back normalcy—it will make all the difference between being killed by the state and not being killed by the state.
