Question

Article 370 is related to?

Answer 1

Special status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir
Article 370 of the Indian Constitution granted special autonomous status to the region of Jammu and Kashmir. It provided certain provisions and privileges to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, including a separate constitution, a separate flag, and a significant degree of legislative and administrative autonomy. This article was incorporated into the Indian Constitution in 1949. However, on August 5, 2019, the Government of India abrogated Article 370 through a presidential order. This decision revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and reorganized the state into two separate Union Territories, namely Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. The abrogation of Article 370 led to significant changes in the governance and administration of Jammu and Kashmir.
