India Revokes Article 370 — Jammu & Kashmir Reorganized

India revoked Article 370 of the Constitution on August 5, 2019, stripping Jammu & Kashmir of its special status. The state was bifurcated into two Union Territories: J&K and Ladakh. The communication blackout and security lockdown that followed lasted months. Pakistan strongly condemned the move, downgraded diplomatic relations, suspended trade, and raised the issue at the UN General Assembly.
