According to reports by Access Now, a non-profit that tracks state-imposed blackouts, for the past five years, India has shut down the internet 84 times just last year alone. In the troubled region of Kashmir, after stripping the state of various independent rights, the government imposed an 18 month shutdown from August 2019 until February 2021 – the longest ever imposed in a democracy. Before that, in June 2018, the residents of Darjeeling endured a blackout that lasted over 100 days after unrest broke out.
