J&K is in a traditional state and while the current state is not desirable it is somewhat necessary due to the potential for terrorist attacks.
China on the other hand has put entire state's population in concentration camps and changed demography in other occupied territories such as Tibet.

So why are politicians detained? Those who swore on Indian constitution?
The reason here is not fear of terrorism, because the security theatre exists perpetually, but India does not want its suppression of a minority population to be aired out openly in media esp western and social media.

They had to do this to ensure security of the region. Almost two days ago, protestors had killed a truck driver who was a local[1]. I wonder what would've happened had there been no heavy security deployment.

Supreme court of India is giving passes to meet people in curfewed Kashmir, and asking them to just meet and not do anything else (i.e. report on human right violations).
It is amazingly surreal to see this repeat again. Anyhow, how can a democracy use medieval rule like curfew on 10 Million people. Entire province disconnected from the world and themselves.
