Article 370 and matters relating to Kashmir have ever since independence itself held paramount importance in the country and its functioning. There have been controversies surrounding the article since the instrument of accession came into effect itself in 1947. Numerous views have been put forth about its advantages, disadvantages and whether it should continue to exist after 72 years after independence. There have been debates, meetings and controversies surrounding Article 370, but no action had been taken. This was until now. On 6th August 2019, the BJP government proposed a bill in the parliament for abrogation of article 370 and a bifurcation of the state of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh into two union territories. The bill was passed by both the houses with a majority.
