Article 370: Constitutional Change and Its Impact
Article 370 granted special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir under the Indian Constitution. Its abrogation marked a historic shift in India’s federal structure, integrating the region more closely with the rest of the country. The decision aimed to promote uniform laws, economic development, and administrative efficiency. However, it also sparked legal debates and political discussions about federalism, regional identity, and long-term socio-economic outcomes in the region.
