Introduction
The present study is
aimed to trace the process of federalization in India and the inclusion
of special provisions for the Jammu and Kashmir State embodied in Article
370 of the Constitution of India. Since Jammu and Kashmir presents a variant
of the federal structure in which the Indian States were welded, the present
study is expected to provide a perspective for the future evolution of
the federal frames which the founding fathers of the Constitution of India
constructed.
In recent years there has been insistent emphasis
on the recognition of sub-national diversities of India as components of
the Indian federal system. The present study, which is focussed on the
analysis of the constitutional placement of Jammu and Kashmir in the Indian
federal structure, as a sub-national identity, reveals much and can serve
as an indicator for any reconsideration of the federal relations the Constitution
of India embodies.
