6 years of repeal of Article 370: 6 years after the cancellation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir has been completed. These steps brought a big change in governance, infrastructure and civil participation in Jammu and Kashmir. Now it is being discussed once again that something big is going to happen on August 5.

Is the history of Article 370?
The British had made a big quarrel even while going from India. Sardar Patel and Pandit Nehru joined Riyasat India over the political-physical time. But the matter still got stuck. There has been a big uproar for centuries about Jammu and Kashmir, called heaven of earth. Raja Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir, located near Pakistan, tried to keep his princely state an independent country till the last moment, but Pakistan’s dirty eye on Muslim -majority Kashmir. Then the Pak Army attacked Kashmir. When Raj appeared to go by hand, Hari Singh sought help from India. For help, India laid a condition and said that Jammu and Kashmir should join India, on which Hari Singh agreed. Then Jammu and Kashmir became an integral part of India. But due to Section 370, Jammu and Kashmir was getting special state status.
Rules were not applied
Despite being part of India due to Article 370, many laws of India were not applicable in Jammu and Kashmir. Then in the year 2019, when Narendra Modi came to power for the second time as Prime Minister, the central government abolished Section 370 to Jammu and Kashmir, which has been 6 years today.
