Event Details
On August 5, 2019, the Government of India revoked Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted special autonomy to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Action: The state was bifurcated into two Union Territories: Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
Legacy: This move aimed to fully integrate the region with the rest of India, though it sparked significant political debate and a communications lockdown in the region.
