After a ten-year break, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is gearing up for highly anticipated assembly elections. The last elections were held in 2014, and since then, a lot has changed in the region. The Indian government made a massive move in 2019 by revoking J&K’s special semi-autonomous status, which had been in place for decades under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. This action shook the political and social landscape of J&K, and now, as elections approach, everyone is wondering how these changes will play out.

The political scene has transformed since then.

The stakes are higher than ever, and all eyes are on the key players who will shape the future of this conflict-ridden region.
