Abstract

The constitutional revocation of Article 370 and Article 35A on August 5, 2019, marks a transformative juncture in India’s legal and political narrative. These provisions previously accorded special autonomy to the state of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), distinguishing it from other Indian states in terms of legislative independence and constitutional privileges. The Government of India’s decision to abrogate these articles and bifurcate the state into two separate Union Territories—Jammu & Kashmir (with a legislative assembly) and Ladakh (without a legislative assembly)—has resulted in profound legal, political, and socio-economic implications. This paper critically evaluates these constitutional changes, delving into their legal foundations, procedural execution, and the subsequent impacts on governance, federal relations, and civil liberties.
