LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE REVOCATION OF ARTICLE 370

September 2019 onwards, New Delhi put several political leaders from Jammu to house arrest and imposed a statewide curfew that endured from the August of 2019 to February of 2021. The number of those detained exceeded 400 as the center imposed a crackdown on the opposition they labelled separatists. Why did the center have to detain so many politicians and activists? Why did the centre impose such long a curfew on the state which costed its economy 1.5 billion US dollars? What was the need to detain its own citizens and deprive them of basic needs like the internet for 2 long years, ending only in January of 2021. In this paper I shall strive to bring out the key details of the revoked Article 370, how it changed the livelihood of 14 million Kashmiris and list some key legal implications of the revocation.
