Abstract

The Union Territory of India, (till 31st October, 2019, as a state), Jammu and Kashmir is located in the Northern part of India towards the west most Himalayan mountain ranges and range of karakoram. One of the biggest former princely states of India, Jammu and Kashmir is surrounded by Ladakh from the East, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh from the South, Pakistan by Southwest and Pakistan-administered Kashmir (POK) from the North West. Srinagar being its summer capital and Jammu as its winter capital, the area of this beautiful valley is 16,309 square miles (101,387 square km). For the past several years J&K has remained a scorching issue. An assessment cum survey on the reactions of people regarding the human rights violations that took place after the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A of the Indian Constitution was conducted for the research paper. It is important to note that in situations when harsh and inhumane rules are in place, democracies cannot thrive. Only when every person's dignity is honoured and upheld can democracy be viable. Every mother who lost a cherished kid is crying right now. Everyone in this room despises violence and is eager to see a conflict-free Kashmir free of human rights abuses. Therefore, in this research study, the researcher will draw attention to the atrocities, abuse of power, harsh laws, and grave violations of human rights post-Article 370 and 35A abrogation.
