  • Article 370, Federalism and the Basic Structure of the Constitution
    TIF - Article 370, Federalism and the Basic Structure of the Constitution FAIZAN MUSTAFA July 5, 2019 Photo credit: Saktishree DM | Flickr (CC BY-ND 2.0) Article 370 is a permanent and not temporary provision of the Constitution that assures Jammu and Kashmir autonomy. Its content may have been hollowed out but it remains important for the people of Kashmir. Calls to scrap it are based on a misinterpretation. The Article 370 debate is back centre-stage. The new Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, has made a detailed statement on Article 370 after his return from Kashmir. In tune with his party’s ideological position, he has yet again termed this constitutional provision as “temporary”. At the same time he has been candid enough to confess for the first time that most elections in Kashmir had been rigged. The importance of Article 370 to Kashmir and the significance it holds in our Constitution are issues that need to be constantly reiterated to dispel the considerable misinterpretation and misunderstanding about this provision in the Constitution of India History of Article 370 The most important feature of federalism in the United States of America (USA) was the ”compact” between the Page 1 www.TheIndiaForum.in July 5, 2019 erstwhile 13 British colonies that constituted themselves first into a confederation and then into a federal polity under the 1791 constitution of the USA. In a confederation units do have a right to secede, but in a federation they do not have such a right though in this system they are given a lot of autonomy to operate within their allotted spheres.
