Article 370

Synopsis
Introduction
Article 370 of the Indian Constitution is an article that gives autonomous status to the state
of Jammu and Kashmir. The article is drafted in part XXI of the Constitution: Temporary,
Transitional and Special Provisions. The State Constitution assembly was empowered to
recommend the articles of the Indian constitution to be applied to the state or to abrogate the
Article 370 altogether. After the state Constituent Assembly dissolved itself without
recommending abrogation

The state of Jammu and Kashmir's unique promotion, similar to all other princely states, was
on three issues: defence, foreign affairs and communications. All the princely states were
welcome to send agents to India's Constituent Assembly, which was planning a constitution
for the entire of India. They were likewise urged to set up constituent assemblies for whole
India . Most states were not able set up gatherings in time, but states did, specifically
Saurashtra Union, Travancore-Cochin and Mysore. Despite the fact that the States
Department built up a model constitution for the states, in May 1949, the rulers and chief
ministers priests of the states met and concurred that different constitutions for the states were
redundant. They accepted the Constitution of India as their own constitution. The states that
elected constituent congregations proposed a couple of changes which were acknowledged.
The position of states along these lines ended up noticeably proportional to that of normal
Indian provinces. Specifically, this implied the subjects accessible for enactment by the focal
and state governments was uniform across India.
