The roots of article 370 lie in the formation of Jammu and Kashmir State by the Dogra rulers in the year 1846 and the consequent dissatisfaction of the majority community from the administrative policies pursued by them. The rulers though followed the footsteps of their predecessors and continued with the old practices and the excessive taxation system in the beginning. But with passage of time, and to win the confidence of the people belonging to all the classes of the people in the state, they also resorted to introduce reforms in the administration from time to time. But they could not win the confidence of the people who launched a movement against them that continued till 1947. During the wake of partition and independence of India, J&K State though joined the union of India but demanded special privileges for J&K state in the form of Art.370 to be incorporated in the Indian constitution, which was being drawn. Under Art. 370, J&K State was to conferred special status. Herein lies the importance of the study of the Article 370 of the Constitution of India and the state of Jammu and Kashmir. But no work has yet been done on this subject. So realizing the importance of this topic, I have attempted to undertake an authentic study of the subject.
