In 1947, Pakistan and India gained independence, but the bloodshed did not stop. Even after seven decades and countless tragedies, the violence that began with the migration of 1947 continues to haunt millions. The partition, which uprooted countless families, claimed homes, honor, and lives, was the beginning of a bloodstained journey that has yet to end. This tragedy of partition led to what has been described as the largest human migration in history. The partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 resulted in the forced migration of 15 million people. Muslims were moving towards Pakistan, while Hindus and Sikhs headed to India. Along the way, at least one million people lost their lives, countless were separated from their loved ones, and many were stripped of their homes, land, and possessions.

On August 5th, 2024, internet users in Pakistan suffered from a massive service outage that lasted for many hours throughout the entire country. For a short time, some people believed that the Pakistani government’s move to restrict or block the internet was a calculated strategy to censor political content in the country.

"The fault in the submarine cable system was the primary ca
