ABSTRACT
The move aimed to better integrate people of Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh into the rest of India, making sure they have equal legal protection and all the rights that other Indian citizens have, irrespective of their sexuality, gender, religion, or social class, as well as receiving better educational and economic opportunities. The Indian Government marked 2019-2020 as one of the historic time periods in the Indian Political History as it legally, democratically, and constitutionally repealed Article 370 from the Indian Constitution on August 5, 2019, ending the special and separate status of Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. Massive Military was setup in the areas of Jammu and Kashmir followed by a shutdown and curfew in the valley to prevent any kind of havoc virtually and physically. It explores the difficulties locals have in utilizing their fundamental rights by examining the repercussions from this constitutional amendment. The impacts of repealing Article 370 on human rights are significant, ranging from increased surveillance and limitations on media to movement limits imposed by security measures. Furthermore, the arbitrary confinement of political figures without following the proper legal procedures highlights the grave human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir following the repeal. But it is argued till date that Internationally accepted Human Rights are still being violated in the valley of Kashmir. This abstract attempt to highlight the pressing need to resolve abuses of human rights and protect the liberties and rights of individuals in the region by evaluating these complex concerns.
Keywords: Abrogation of Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir, Indian
