The most definitive account of how Article 370 was abrogated. The inside story of how Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned the seemingly impossible into a reality. An eye-opening read on the damage Article 370 inflicted on Jammu and Kashmir. A book that will interest diverse readers, including students, scholars and historians. Introduced in October 1949, Article 370 turned out to be a long-standing ‘permanent’ temporary provision till 5 August 2019, when it was abrogated by the Parliament of India.

Removing Article 370 not only needed strategic planning and political will but also mammoth logistical preparations. Every single aspect would have to be addressed, or else the region, especially the Kashmir valley, would plunge into chaos. The book offers a glimpse of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s thought process, insights into his leadership and, most importantly, his vision for Jammu and Kashmir. By ensuring that Article 370 is repealed, Prime Minister Modi altered the course of history. But, along with that he also fulfilled the decades-old commitment of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Deeply researched, anecdotal and unputdownable, this book fills the gaps on scholarship around an ic
