How did Article 370 impact the spread of terrorism in Kashmir

Exploring the link between Article 370 and the rise of terrorism in Kashmir.
  • Article 370 granted special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir, leading to limited central government control over the region.
  • This autonomy was exploited by separatist groups to fuel anti-India sentiments and recruit militants.
  • The lack of integration with the rest of India under Article 370 created an atmosphere conducive to promoting terrorism in the region.
  • Separatist leaders used Article 370 as a rallying point for their cause, perpetuating a cycle of violence and unrest.
  • The revocation of Article 370 in August 2019 aimed to bring Jammu and Kashmir fully under the control of the Indian government to curb terrorism activities.
This move was intended to diminish the influence of separatist elements and improve security in the region.
