Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A of the Indian Constitution in 2019 represented a watershed moment in India’s constitutional history, fundamentally reshaping the governance framework of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K). This paper explores the multifaceted implications of this decision across legal, political, socio-economic, and international dimensions. Legally, the study scrutinizes the constitutional validity of the abrogation process, delving into interpretations of Article 370’s temporary provisions and the procedural aspects of its revocation, drawing insights from ongoing judicial proceedings. Politically, it evaluates domestic reactions and international responses, highlighting debates on national unity, federalism, and human rights. Socio-economically, the paper assesses the impact on J&K’s socio-economic development, including changes in education, healthcare, employment, and infrastructure. Internationally, it discusses diplomatic consequences and implications for regional stability, focusing on relations with Pakistan, China, and global perceptions. Through a comprehensive analysis of legal precedents, government actions, and public discourse, this study enhances understanding of the complexities and implications of constitutional amendments in a diverse and geopolitically sensitive region. It underscores the importance of balanced governance, inclusive development, and respect for constitutional principles in navigating the aftermath of such transformative legal changes.
