Conclusion- Article 370
Article 370 is the outcome of a freely agreed-upon contract between the people and the constitutional authority of India. This article explains how the instrument of accession affected the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The state assembly has the power to create its constitution. The state assembly is also going to decide the right level of central government authority. The state of Jammu and Kashmir was experiencing a special status because of the violence that was currently on the land. Due to conflicts in the neighbouring countries, Article 370 of the Indian Constitution was put into effect to give the people of Jammu and Kashmir independence. However, it was cancelled in 2019 when the Bhartiya Janata Party came to power, causing a great deal of opposition and challenges that the government was able to quickly sort out. It also raised Jammu and Kashmir to the same status as the other states and merged it into the Indian Union.
Article 370 of the Constitution of India
Article 370 is a constitutional provision that offers special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The Constitution came into force on January 26, 1950. This unique provision was discussed in the constituent assembly of India after discussion in its drafting committee and, sometimes, in discussion in the Congress parliamentary party. The clause was added to the Constitution’s Temporary, Transitional, and Special Provisions section (Part XXI). It is clear from the part’s title that this was intended to be a temporary solution, and its use was expected to continue until the state’s constitution had been written and adopted.
Article 370 restricted the Parliament’s legislative powers to the state of J&K. The administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided in 2019 to withdraw Kashmir’s special status, which granted it a certain degree of independence.
