The recent Supreme Court judgment permitting the scrapping for Article 370 of the Constitution has severe implications on the Indian federation. On one side, it added its voice to the government’s action; on the other, it claimed that this provision was not a part of the Constitution, but a temporary provision.

Key Takeaways:

1. Strengthening Central Authority: The judgment strengthens the septre of the central authority over Jammu and Kashmir. It abolishes the special status that the state had done earlier and thus incorporated it in the other states of India.
2. Implications for Federalism: Unsurprisingly the decision raises the matter of the federal distribution of power between the center and the states. This may lead to an emergence of oligarchy so puts the autonomy of the state at a risky position.
3. Other States Implications: This decision directly impacts the verdict for Jammu and Kashmir; still, it may say something with the future further actions in other states regarding that they have autonomy or special provisions.
4. Socio-political Effects: This decision especially on the people of Jammu and Kashmir would stir up much of socio-political issues; these are; their identity, culture, and any economic gains from their society.

Therefore one might conclude that SC’s decision regarding Article 370 is the matter of considerable concern to the nature of the federal system in India. On the one hand it has advanced the office of the central government, on the other hand state sovereignty has become an issue and regional ambition too. Its long-term outcome will not only Progressively take place in future, but these changes will significantly define the future of federalism in India.
