Reading Kashmir

On 5 August 2019, the Indian government revoked Article 370 and 35A, two key constitutional provisions on Jammu and Kashmir, thereby stripping the region of its autonomy and statehood. As we approach the first anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, here is a selection of articles from our extensive coverage of Kashmir over the years, including recent pieces since the abrogation of statehood and the communications blackout:
