Attached is a tweet linking to an article about the shutdowns from the government of the Indian internet users. Specifically these shutdowns have targeted Kashmir, a flashpoint between India and Pakistan. These shutdowns were justified due to alleged claims of political violence and instability in the reason. Many however think that they were simply due to the government wanting to suppress any chance of political affiliation of the citizens with Pakistan.
