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.
