Fallout From Abrogation Of Article 370 In Kashmir

The Indian government’s decision to abrogate Article 370 of the constitution and revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special status has significant implications for rule of law, federalism, and secularism in the country while the road to peace in the state remains unpaved.

The government of India with a presidential reference abrogated Article 370 of the constitution that had given special status to the state under its annexation agreement with India in 1947. Under the article the state had its own constitution, flag and assembly to guard its autonomy, but now it will be governed from New Delhi.
