Jammu and Kashmir

Jammu and Kashmir is a region in northern India, known for its stunning landscapes and cultural diversity. Historically, it was a princely state before the partition of British India in 1947, which led to territorial disputes between India and Pakistan. The region is divided into several parts: Jammu, the Kashmir Valley, and Ladakh. While Jammu is known for its religious sites, the Kashmir Valley is famous for its natural beauty. The area has faced political conflict and violence, impacting its development and the lives of its residents. In 2019, India revoked its special status under Article 370 of the Constitution.
