Article 370 The partition of Bharat was based on the two nation theory. Insertion of Article 370 and the provision of special status for J&K is the corollary of the two nation theory. The ongoing armed insurgency or militarization of Islamic fundamentalism in Kashmir is the fall out of the two-nation theory.
