The relationship between Kashmiri Pandits and Article 370 is vexed. Sentiment in Jammu towards Article 370 was largely unfavourable and Jammu resented being lumped with Kashmir and placed on a different footing from the rest of India.
Article 370 laid down the edifice of the relationship between J-K and the Union of India. If you look at the Article, what is there now is a provision which states that all provisions of the Constitution of India applies to J-K. The veto that the state could exercise previously on most Union laws has ended.
The book tells the untold story of how J&K became a part of India in 1947, achieved special status in 1950, shared a fractious relationship with New Delhi for the next seven decades, only to be reduced to a UT in 2019.
