Question

what is article 370. write a short paragraph on it​

Answer 1

Answer:

Article 370 of the Indian constitution gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir—a state in India, located in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, and a part of the larger region of Kashmir, which has been the subject of dispute between India, Pakistan, and China since 1947[1][2]—allowing it to have a separate constitution, a state flag and autonomy over the internal administration of the state.[3][4] The government of India revoked this special status in August 2019 through a Presidential Order and the passage of a resolution in Parliament.

The article was drafted in Part XXI of the Constitution: Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions.[5] The Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir, after its establishment, was empowered to recommend the articles of the Indian constitution that should be applied to the state or to abrogate the Article 370 altogether. After consultation with the state's Constituent Assembly, the 1954 Presidential Order was issued, specifying the articles of the Indian constitution that applied to the state. Since the Constituent Assembly dissolved itself without recommending the abrogation of Article 370, the article was deemed to have become a permanent feature of the Indian Constitution.[6][7]

Answer 2

A short paragraph on Article 370:

Article 370 refers to the special status given to 'Jammu and Kashmir' by the Indian constitution. As per the 'provisions of Article' 370, in order to apply the laws in the state of 'Jammu and Kashmir', an approval from the state government was required by the parliament.

• However, there was an exception in the case of 'defense, foreign affairs, 'communication, and finance'.
• The laws of ownership of property, citizenship and 'fundamental rights of the native residents' were different from the residents in the rest of the country.  
• There were many restrictions like citizens from other states were unable to purchase any property in the state of J&k.
• The central government was devoid of the power to declare an emergency in the state.  

Various rules and regulations were made that gave the state a special status and exclusive rights. However, article 370 has successfully been scraped quite recently.
