Article 370 acknowledges the special status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir in terms of autonomy and its ability to formulate laws for the state's permanent residents.[note 7] In the 1954 Presidential order, among other things, the Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution were made applicable to Kashmir with exceptions.[70] Later amendments, states Cottrell, modified the applicability of basic human rights in the Indian Constitution to permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir.[clarification needed] The state legislature further modified these, as well as added "preventive detention laws" that it exempted from human rights challenges for twenty-five years.Further, the state gave special privileges to the permanent residents in matters such as residence, property, education and government jobs, which were unavailable to others.[71][72] Article 35A of the Indian constitution has been interpreted by some Kashmiri officials to disallow challenging any state law, merely on the ground of infringing upon rights, granted to all citizens of India via the national constitution.[72]
