Two years of abrogation of Article 370: Tracing decay of controversial law that sealed terms of J&K's accession

Firstpost  

We look into the history of the now-defunct Article 370 and 35 A and what lead to its inception in the first place to shed light on modern faultlines. Since then, India amended Article 370 at least 12 times – by Congress’ own admission – and has used it at least 45 times to extend provisions of the Indian Constitution to J&K. Thus, Article 370 was incorporated in the Indian Constitution, exempting the state of Jammu and Kashmir from the Constitution of India. But it is also important to note that the presidential order of 1954 that added Article 35A to the Constitution also extended Indian citizenship to permanent residents of J&K, Supreme Court’s jurisdiction to the state, and abolished the state’s customs duties. That, in a way, points to the erosion of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and ratifieds Nehru’s oft-quoted comment “It will fade away with time ” with respect to Article 370.
