Article 370 granted autonomous status to J&K, limiting Parliament’s legislative powers over the state. In August 2019, the central government abrogated 370’s core provisions and bifurcated the state into two union territories—J&K (with a legislature) and Ladakh (without a legislature). The move redefined the region’s relationship with the Union, extending all central laws to J&K. Supporters see it as integrating J&K fully for uniform development, while critics argue it undermined federal and democratic norms. The Supreme Court is examining legal challenges. This step highlights the Constitution’s flexibility yet raises debates on governance models for sensitive, conflict-prone regions.
