The rank has consistently gone down in NDA era. Rankings below 2019 - 2009 - left to right. See the bump to 140? That's 2013.

Post the source link. I can't make head or tail of this graphic
this point did come up a while ago and i referenced earlier reports from RSF
Only Kashmir is relevant? Nothing else matters? As far as I know, this thread is about BJP govt and not Kashmir.
What BJP govt is doing to address the situation ? you don't think that's worth talking about.
Still, it's early days. This is the honey moon period. The opposition has been whacked and good. They are going to push back, that's when the fun starts.
Your earlier question about what difference it makes applies if asked about the Paks.
Why did they whine so much ? what exactly changed for them. We've dealt their narrative a death blow but what else. Aren't they still able to cause the same havoc.
After the FATF meet, all diplomatic ways to reverse the situation will be exhausted.
Then the gloves will come off. What happens next. Wait and see.
When asked when restrictions would be relaxed PM said 4 months. 4 months from when ?
If its Aug that puts it in Dec. What happens to J&K in Dec. Gets cold. Very cold. Nobody is coming out on the streets in that weather. The earliest anything can start is end Feb or March. This gives two months to test prepare for trouble that no restrictions will produce.
You see the thought put into this move now. The timing
#2 is Yogi Adityanath. RSS is dead set to project him as the next PM.
So i've heard but he is what ? still a first time CM. He's a bit green around the ears. Can he win a second term with a bigger margin ? Keep in mind people didn't vote Yogi into office
See, the BJP did not announce who the CM candidate would be for their party. Because there were ten factions all vying for the top post in UP and the patronage perks that flow. If they named the CM candidate before the elections the other nine would work against them. Insane but that is the reality of so called 'nationalist' party. Yogi only found out he was CM when he was refused his passport to go to Singapore for a conference. He couldn't leave the country. He was being made CM.
If Kashmir is stuck in 90s, I can only imagine which era Bihar, UP, Jharkhand and Orissa are in.
J&K should be earning much more than the present basket case that it is. Hydro & tourism.
A report from 2016 showed we spent ten times per head of population over there than elsewhere. What good did that do ?
What would Bihar, UP, Jharkhand & Orissa be like if we spent that kind of money in each of those states.
How many people have landlines these days? Is it even worth it to block landline calls?
J&K govt offices have landlines. Apparently rumours were centre wanted to avert a possible mutiny from the local administration. Oh yeah they even thought of that angle.
When that threat never materialised they relaxed restrictions a week or so after Aug 5.
Shah's counter about internet & mobile telephony restrictions
Mobiles came to India in 1995, but reached Kashmir in 2003. They weren't there for eight years. Was Article 370 revoked then?
Internet reached Kashmir 12 years after it came to India. Was Article 370 revoked then?: HM @AmitShah
His job is to keep loss of life to a minimum. And there have already been a few incidents.
Are you aware that there is an acute shortage of food & medicines there? School and colleges are shut and so is tourism. Farmers are not able transport products like Apples out of the state.
What acute shortage of food & medicines ?
Since the abrogation of Article 370, Kashmiris have been borrowing from lessons learnt in 2010 and 2014, and perfected during 2016 unrest.

Constables and jawans in Kashmir’s Soura are bewildered why Modi government couldn’t stick to the truth about police action against a murderous crowd.

This is the part that makes me livid
The Wall Street Journal’s
story on empty hospitals and a medical crisis, on the other hand, are complete fabrication and lead one to question if the two journalists were deliberately twisting facts or were being fed by their stringers.
So the WSJ made up their story, They're not the only ones. WAPO too
India News: The Juvenile Justice Committee (JJC) of J&K HC submitted a report to the Supreme Court giving details of 144 minors arrested by the police since Aug 5
timesofindia.indiatimes.com
Did you hear about the kids that got picked up. Imran was raving about that at the UN. Two social workers had to move the Supreme court about that story.
Does the Supreme court have better things to do than rebut what foreign publications with an agenda print.
About tourism, see
here
About Apple farmers, the govt offered to buy the entire seasons crop. Done. Now when shifting the apples out
this happens. And
this
Now tell me who is against the apple farmers ? Who is trying to prevent internet & mobile telephony from being restored ?
So what is the plan ? it is to cause economic hardship and this will force people out on the streets to protest.
Then the world's papers can say see how bad India is.
So yeah, i think we need to discuss J&K some more now
Will accept the same condition in your home state?
False equivalence. My state is not a 'disturbed' state. Disturbed means 100 people have to die and this state of affairs is then ongoing for an extended period of time.
The govt is going hammer & tongs at the perpetrators. Slowed it enough to dismantle the trouble makers. There is lot more left to do.
