US EditionSix Years After Article 370 Abrogation, Where J&K Stands on Economy, Security, Tourism and More
JAMMU AND KASHMIR, INDIA, AUG 5 – The Indian government revoked Jammu and Kashmir's autonomy to integrate the region and created two Union Territories, a move met with both support and opposition, officials said.
- On August 5, 2019, the BJP-led Indian government abrogated Article 370, revoking Jammu and Kashmir's special constitutional status and bifurcating it into two Union Territories.
- The government used Article 370 to declare the article inoperative, interpreting state powers as resting with Parliament due to the assembly's dissolution, which sparked constitutional debates and a communication blackout.
- Since then, stone pelting incidents have dropped to zero and militant recruitment has almost stopped, but political leaders and artists report a manufactured silence amid ongoing security crackdowns and loss of dignity.
- Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated on January 2, 2025, that Article 370 sowed separatism causing 40,000 deaths, while some leaders call for inclusive dialogue to restore dignity and negotiate political resolution.
- Six years post-abrogation, Jammu and Kashmir show uneven progress in security, governance, tourism, and cultural expression, with continued demands to restore full statehood and address grievances for lasting peace.
