We live in a world that is increasingly surrounded by visuals. From postcards, photographs, bill boards, magazines to the television screen and now the coming of the internet, the reality comes in mediated forms through multiple and contesting forms of visual culture. The screens proliferate and get embedded in the lives of individuals. This has resulted in increased accessibility and use of smart phones with reduced data costs leading to forging solidarities across nations and creation of shared culture of visuals and writings. It is noted that on the flipside, circulation of misinformation and disinformation takes place to embolden the ethnic majoritarian sentiments that have ideological affiliation with the present ruling party in India. The abrogation of article 370 and article 35A by the present government that gave special status of autonomy to the state of Jammu and Kashmir was arguably unconstitutional but celebrated as a victory of nationalism. In the aftermath of the abrogation, Kashmir witnessed internet ban for more than hundred days and therefore, communication was blocked by the government in the name of safeguarding sovereignty of the Indian nation state and maintenance of public order. Hence, the issue from being technical is political when some people are disconnected (outlawed) from cyber space. The article attends at understanding the context in which some people has been silenced with the internet ban and protest symbols that are historically contextualised but also has the potential to create something new with assemblage of protesting people, visibility of digital technologies and contention in the present regime.
