520 _aThe most definitive account of how Article 370 was abrogated. The inside story of how Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned the seemingly impossible into a reality. An eye-opening read on the damage Article 370 inflicted on Jammu and Kashmir. A book that will interest diverse readers, including students, scholars and historians. Introduced in October 1949, Article 370 turned out to be a long-standing ‘permanent’ temporary provision till 5 August 2019, when it was abrogated by the Parliament of India. The article has been subjected to intense debate and much discussion over the years. Those who supported it cited Jammu and Kashmir’s unique situation in 1947, while those who opposed it questioned how one nation could have two constitutions, two flags and two sets of rules. The naysayers also questioned its reductive aspects―the denial of basic rights to the poor, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe communities, and women. But whichever side one stood on, the conventional belief for sixty-five years since Independence was that Article 370 can never be repealed. But then came 5 August 2019, when the supposedly impossible became a reality. 370: Undoing the Unjust, A New Future for J&Ktakes the reader through the minute and meticulous planning that ensured seamless execution of the decision. Removing Article 370 not only needed strategic planning and political will but also mammoth logistical preparations. Every single aspect would have to be addressed, or else the region, especially the Kashmir valley, would plunge into chaos. The book offers a glimpse of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s thought process, insights into his leadership and, most importantly, his vision for Jammu and Kashmir. By ensuring that Article 370 is repealed, Prime Minister Modi altered the course of history. But, along with that he also fulfilled the decades-old commitment of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Deeply researched, anecdotal and unputdownable, this book fills the gaps on scholarship around an iconic moment of Indian history.
