112 days. That is how long it has been since the government of India stripped Kashmir of its autonomy by revoking Articles 370 and 35A. 112 days of silence from the region, since India imposed a communications blackout that still has not been lifted. 112 days since 8 million Kashmiris have been cut off from the rest of the world by the “largest democracy on earth.” 109 days since India sent thousands of additional troops to Kashmir, already the most militarized zone in the world.
