Abstract :
Is Article 35A of the Indian Constitution is a symbol of Kashmiri Colonialism or a Retrograde? Article 35A of the Indian Constitution has been remarked as the symbol of Kashmiri Colonialism over the rest of Jammu and Kashmir. In a memorandum, the Jammu Kashmir People’s Forum to the Union Minister and Human Rights Commission they stated that with the repeal of Article 35A of the Indian Constitution, fundamental rights have been legally snatched by the State which may include the Right to vote, right to property, right to marriage, right to employment etc. On the other hand Article 35A, the symbol of Kashmiri Colonialism is retrograde as it violates the concept of equality enshrined under the Indian Constitution.
