The Reality of Internet Shutdowns in India

Inactivity has been slowly restored in the state of Punjab, but that's after a fairly broad shutdown was ordered on all mobile internet connectivity. India is unfortunately one of the world's largest and most frequent perpetrators of internet shutdowns. For example, the 2022, when we just published this data earlier this month, India conducted just short of 100 internet shutdowns,. A slight reduction compared to the year before but with much more intense shutdowns.
