Scrapping #Article370: What does it mean?

What were the ramifications of notifications issued by Kashmir's Maharaja Hari Singh? What are state subjects? What exclusive rights did state subjects hold? How did #35A come into being?

Explains @sarthakraizada Advocate, Supreme Court
What is Article 35A?

#Article35A guaranteed exclusive rights to permanent residents of Jammu & Kashmir like exclusivity in employment, grants, education & property rights. This meant that an ordinary Indian citizen could not buy property in J&K. This was clearly discriminatory.
What took so long?

Several deliberations between State & Central govt took place over the years but in vain. A host of petitions were even filed citing the discriminatory nature of #Article35A. On many occasions the Hon. Supreme Court refused to entertain these petitions.

#Article370 and #35A were the root of blatant discrimination, racism and misogyny. They discriminated between Kashmiris on arbitrary lines. They discriminated against women. They excluded India.
Their supporters support racism, misogyny and Sharia.

@arunjaitley One more ignoramus (or paid shill), not knowing how the existence of these clauses was discriminatory and undemocratic. Were they introduced by democratic process?

@arunjaitley No surprise that the most misogynist communists, who routinely use women as objects in Maoists camps, support the apartheid and racism of #Article370 and #35A.

But they wear niqab of "feminism."
