ABROGATION OF ARTICLE 370 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

Article 370 has been the subject of heated debate ever since it was first proposed. There is no other article of the Indian Constitution that has elicited as much interest and passion in the mind of the common Indian as Article 370 of the Constitution. The debate on this topic ranges from highly technical to highly emotional ones, depending on who is speaking. The matter at hand is not only legal or constitutional in nature, but also incorporates political dimensions of enormous proportions as well. In a way that makes the problem incredibly complex, both are intricately intertwined with one another. Moreover, the ramifications and impact of this Article on India's Constitution as well as the politics of this subcontinent must be fully understood by the public. The Indian Constitution is more than just a legislative framework intended to accommodate clashing political viewpoints from a bygone era. It is also a social contract. A thriving democracy like ours is deserving of more. In an ideal world, the constitution would reflect the ambitions, aspirations, and ideals of the people who drafted it, not the other way around. In order to assess its character and vitality, it must be appraised on the basis of the honesty and efficacy with which it infuses and enforces these elements.
