Jammu and Kashmir

Jammu and Kashmir is an erstwhile state or province of India. It enjoyed special privileges under Article 370 of the Constitution of India. However in 2021 it was divided into three separate territories, namely "Jammu", "Kashmir" and "Ladakh". Thereby it lost its special status, which was criticised by India’s arch rival Pakistan.
