Human rights activist from Kashmir, Khurram Parvez, talks to NewsClick about how the lives of people in the Kashmir valley and Jammu region have changed after August 5, 2019, when the region was stripped off its special status through abrogation of Article 370. This was accompanied by huge militarisation, mass detentions, internet ban, arrests of political leaders and a complete snuffing out of basic rights.
