This image made from video released on Aug. 10, 2019, by the Jammu and Kashmir government purports to show life returning to normal in Srinagar, Indian controlled Kashmir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist-led government presented an order in parliament Aug. 5 revoking the autonomy of India’s only Muslim-majority state, followed by a bill to split Jammu and Kashmir into two federal territories.

Officials have filled the void by circulating their own images and asserting the changes have widespread acceptance. But that portrayal hasn’t stood up to scrutiny, with independent news reports suggesting otherwise. (Jammu and Kashmir government via AP)
