What is Article 375?. Content Warning.

The intricate interplay of constitutional provisions and historical context has shaped the trajectory of Jammu and Kashmir's governance and identity. At the core of this narrative lies the pivotal Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order of 1954, a legislative instrument that vested the state legislature with the unique authority to define its own cadre of permanent residents and confer upon them specific rights and privileges. This landmark order was seamlessly enshrined within the contours of the Indian Constitution through the executive action known as The Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order. Executed under the aegis of Article 370, this action mirrored the delicate equilibrium between the federal Indian government and the autonomous entity that was Jammu and Kashmir.
