Which Section of the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution explains that the state is and will remain an integral part of Indian Union?

Section 1
Section 2
Section 3
Section 4

The correct answer is Section 370 of the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution.

Section 370 is a special provision of the Indian Constitution that grants special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It was included in the Constitution at the time of India’s independence in 1947, at the request of the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, Hari Singh.

Section 370 gives Jammu and Kashmir a special status in relation to the rest of India. It allows the state to have its own constitution, flag, and currency. It also allows the state to have its own laws on matters such as citizenship, ownership of property, and religion.

Section 370 has been a controversial provision since its inception. Some people believe that it is necessary to protect the unique culture and identity of Jammu and Kashmir. Others believe that it is discriminatory and should be repealed.

In August 2019, the Indian government revoked Section 370. This decision was met with widespread protests in Jammu and Kashmir. The government has said that the revocation of Section 370 is necessary to bring Jammu and Kashmir into line with the rest of India. However, many people in Jammu and Kashmir believe that the revocation of Section 370 is a violation of their rights.

The following are the other options in the question:

  • Section 1: This section deals with the short title, extent, and commencement of the Constitution.
  • Section 2: This section deals with the definition of certain terms used in the Constitution.
  • Section 4: This section deals with the power of the President to make ordinances.
