Article 370 and J&K: The Unkept Promise of Statehood

Article 370 and J&K: The Unkept Promise of Statehood

Imagine a special rule for a place called J&K was changed by the government.

The Supreme Court said the way the rule was changed was wrong, but it was okay for the whole country's rules to apply there.

The government also promised to give J&K its full state status back by a certain date, but they didn't.

People in J&K are upset because they feel the government hasn't kept its word.

The author thinks the Supreme Court should focus on whether the government broke its promise.

The court is scheduled to make a decision on the case in about 8 weeks.
