About Difa 370 Ka Post Mortam Report

Difa 370 Ka Post Mortam Report is an Urdu book on Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, the provision that gave Jammu and Kashmir its special status until 2019. As the title suggests, Difa 370 looks back at the debate around the article and examines it in the manner of a report. It is a book for readers in Kashmir and beyond who prefer to follow political questions in Urdu.

Why Article 370 still matters

Article 370 was added to the Constitution in 1949 as a temporary provision. It gave Jammu and Kashmir its own constitution and flag, and limited Parliament’s law-making power over the state at first to defence, foreign affairs and communications. After the state’s constituent assembly dissolved in 1957 without recommending any change, many came to treat it as permanent. On 5 August 2019 a presidential order applied the whole Indian Constitution to the state, and Article 370 was made inoperative a day later. The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act then created two union territories, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, from 31 October 2019. On 11 December 2023 a five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the abrogation. Few topics have shaped the modern politics of Kashmir as strongly.

How to read a political book well

Political books argue a case, so the best way to benefit is to read them alongside other sources. Note the main claims the author makes and check each against the text of the constitutional provisions and the court judgments. Keep a short list of dates, such as 1949, 1957, 2019 and 2023, and see how the book treats each. Reading two or three books with different views will give you a fuller picture than any one of them can. This habit is useful for students preparing essays and for general readers who wish to form their own judgment.
