Kashmiris are getting beaten up by goons and there’s a looming threat of more violence. The legal system is constantly being mocked. Sensitive Rafale documents allegedly get ‘stolen’ from a high-security government office, but you cannot pose questions to the government – your elected representatives – for you could be labelled ‘anti-national’.
