Here’s How International Media Has Covered Kashmir Since India’s Lockdown

On 5th August 2019, India’s Hindu nationalist government unilaterally revoked the special status of Kashmir via a special Presidential decree. The disputed territory is now being ruled directly by the center as a Union Territory.

The revocation has led to a serious uproar from within Kashmir and from across the border. The Indian government, however, has silenced the voices of Kashmiris by denying them access to the internet and troops are maintaining the state of curfew in the heavenly valley even after one and a half month.

For the first time, international media outlets have been reporting on the atrocities being faced by the Kashmiris and the Hindutva tactics being used by the fascist Modi government. Today, we have compiled the list of reports published on reputed international news agencies websites:
