Jammu and Kashmir

Jammu and Kashmir is a former state with special autonomy and now a union territory of India. It enjoyed special privileges under Article 370 of the Constitution of India. However, in 2019 it was divided into separate territories, namely "Jammu and Kashmir" and "Ladakh". Thereby it lost its special status, which was criticised by India’s arch rival Pakistan.
