As Jammu and Kashmir enters the fifth month since the abrogation of Article 370, the national and international media, opposition leaders, and many public intellectuals have continued to repeatedly raise serious concerns about the security and communication lockdown in Kashmir. On November 20, 2019, Majid Memon asked in the Rajya Sabha, "When will complete normalcy return to Kashmir?" The question aptly captures the fears, anxieties, biases and also the superficial understanding of a large segment of commentators repeatedly raising alarm bells over the issue of "normalcy" in Kashmir.
