History

Historical Context

On 5 August 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government issued a presidential order that nullified Article 370, ending Jammu & Kashmir’s special status granted after the 1947 partition. Backed by a parliamentary majority, the Reorganisation Act split the state into two union territories on 31 October 2019, prompting deployment of about 35,000 troops and condemnation from Pakistan and the United Nations.
