Kashmir is already part of India, since 1947. No question of 'annexing'. It was given 'special' privileges, which lead to nothing for 70 years. Now they were revoked.
Imagine if Florida had special privileges like No Federal Tax , and yet continued to remain a s*ithole like, say Missisippi? How would other states take it?
They don’t like it very much at all - see Puerto Rico
Note that I'm talking about shutting down the internet in general, not this specific issue. I've heard that India has done this in the past for other things as well.
That's the thing though right? You can support annexing a region but not also letting the area fall into chaos/have civilians killed. If the "practical" way to do this is to shut down the internet and prevent chaos from spreading, the argument that this is the "right" thing to do isn't too far off.
Not that I condone this line of thought necessarily.
Region doesn't support being Annxed.
Majority support implementation of law and establishment of peace which is already very well recognized as Indian territory.
