'Any story could be your last' - India's crackdown on Kashmir press

This is the best summary I could come up with:

It was a sunny spring day in Indian-administered Kashmir, and after more than three and a half years of visits to courts and police stations, they had received good news - Asif Sultan, a journalist, husband, father and son, had been granted bail.

The BBC has spent more than a year investigating accusations against the Indian government that it is running a sinister and systematic campaign to intimidate and silence the press in the region.

Journalists say the Indian government is trying to shut down reporting related to separatist movements and militant groups, but also any coverage critical of the security forces or the administration, even on day-to-day civic issues.

That's when India revoked the region's special status and divided the country's only Muslim majority state into two territories which are now controlled by the national government led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

In a region ridden by conflict, one space where journalists could meet freely, discuss stories and share their anxieties was the Kashmir Press Club in central Srinagar.

Over the past decade, all of India has witnessed a serious decline in press freedom, which is reflected in global rankings, cases against journalists and raids against media houses.

The original article contains 2,173 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 91%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

India's claim to being a democracy has been tested and failed in Kashmir and Manipur.

lol, "Raids against media houses", more like a raid on the BBC office for foreign funds reporting and tax evasion. It's really difficult to believe any story the BBC or likes put out with their seniester track record with reporting on the current government, however true it may be. This rhetoric is getting old.
