    What exactly is Article 370 of the Constitution?
  • Article 370 of the Indian Constitution extends a provision by which Jammu & Kashmir enjoys special autonomous status.

    The residents of the state live under a separate set of laws, such as those relating to "citizenship, ownership of property, and fundamental rights".

    All the provisions of the Constitution that apply to other Indian states are not applicable to the northern state.

  • Background

    Article 370, a temporary provision, according to Constitution
  • Article 370 is a "temporary provision" drafted in the Constitution's Part XXI: Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions.

    The architect of the Constitution, Dr. BR Ambedkar, had refused to draft Article 370. The then PM Jawaharlal Nehru, in 1949, asked Kashmiri leader Sheikh Abdullah to draft it. However, Gopalaswami Ayyangar, a Union Minister and former Diwan to J&K's Maharajah Hari Singh, eventfully drafted Article 370.

    According to the article, except for laws related to defense, foreign affairs, finance, and communications, the Parliament requires the J&K state government's agreement for applying all the other laws in the state.

  • Information

    Residents of other Indian states cannot purchase property in J&K

  • Under Article 370, as mentioned before, J&K has separate laws for its residents compared to other Indians, including laws concerning citizenship, fundamental rights, and property ownership. Also, because of this, residents of other Indian states cannot purchase land or other property in J&K.

  • Details

    Center cannot declare financial emergency in J&K
