3rd Anniversary Of The Abrogation Of Article 370
On March 3, 2017, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a historic announcement - India would repeal Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. This move has sparked much controversy and debate, with many people arguing that it is unconstitutional and will lead to conflict in the region. In this article, we look at why Modi made this decision, and what it means for the future of Jammu and Kashmir.
3rd Anniversary Of The Abrogation Of Article 370
On August 15th, 2017, India celebrated the 3rd anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. This article granted special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which had a large Muslim population.
Since then, many people have asked what has happened to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Has their rights been violated? Has their democracy been undermined?
To answer these questions, we need to look at the history of Article 370 and its repeal.
Article 370 was first introduced in the Indian Constitution in 1935 as part of a compromise between Hindus and Muslims. At that time, Muslims in India were not allowed to vote or hold public office. Hindu leaders agreed to include Article 370 as part of the Constitution in order to give Muslims some representation in government.
Over time, however, Hindus began to see Article 370 as a way to protect Muslim interests in India. Hindu leaders argued that without Article 370, Muslim immigrants would flood into Jammu and Kashmir and take over the region. They also claimed that without Article 370, Hindu refugees from Pakistan would be unable to enter Jammu and Kashmir safely.
In 1954, Nehru introduced a new bill called The Jammu and
Background
1. On April 25th, 2017, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced that it had unilaterally abrogated the 1980 bilateral agreement between the UAE and Oman. The agreement granted Oman full sovereignty over the Dhofar region, which is located on the UAE’s eastern border.
2. This unilateral decision has raised concerns about regional stability and the potential for conflict in Dhofar. Oman has consistently claimed that it does not want war with the UAE, but analysts have warned that the abrogation of the agreement could create opportunities for aggression by either side.
3. The abrogation of the agreement comes as a significant blow to Oman’s efforts to improve its relationship with the UAE and to strengthen ties with other Arab countries. It also casts doubt over Oman’s ability to secure future economic investments in Dhofar.
What's Happening Now?
On August 2nd, 1971, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 3379 which condemned Israel's occupation of East Jerusalem and called for its withdrawal. This resolution was reaffirmed by the General Assembly in 1974 and by the Security Council in 1980.
In spite of these UN resolutions, Israel continued to occupy East Jerusalem and build settlements in the area. This led to increased tension between Israel and Palestine, as well as with other countries in the region. On November 29th, 1995, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat declared a state of emergency in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. This state of emergency allowed him to carry out many political reforms without interference from Israel.
On May 14th, 2009, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that his government had decided to withdraw from all of Gaza and parts of theWest Bank. Netanyahu said that this was a response to the Arab Spring protests sweeping across the Middle East. However, many Palestinians saw this announcement as an attempt by Netanyahu to strengthen his grip on power.
Today, almost fifty years after Resolution 3379 was passed, Israel still occupies East Jerusalem and continues to build settlements in the area. This has led to increased tension between Israel and Palestine, as well as with other countries

Conclusion
