Implementation of Article 370:
“Article 370” is a temporary provision which grants a special rights to Jammu & Kashmir. In 1954 the constitution assembly approved the order to Jammu & Kashmir state. The reason for providing the special status was India and Pakistan were the independence from the British rule. The state of Jammu & Kashmir had option to join with Pakistan or India. Pakistan army attacked the state and threatened the support.
At the time, Maharaja Hari sign was the "ruler of Jammu & Kashmir" and he approached the India for assistance and in this condition the state Jammu & Kashmir would accede to India. According to the "article 370", the constitution of all the provisions which are “applicable to other states” are “not applicable to Jammu & Kashmir”.
