Pakistan’s Foreign Policy Towards Indian Revocation of Kashmir's Special Status- Modi's Grand Strategy in Abrogating Articles 35A and 370 of the Indian Constitution

    Kashmir Valley has been a subject of discussion since 1947 because of political discord between Pakistan and India. Article 370 and 35(A) of the Indian Constitution were abrogated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving Kashmir and its inhabitants certain benefits, just as Kashmir has its own constitution. This paper scouts Pakistan's modified foreign policy towards India in the after-effect of Articles 370 and 35(A) of the Indian Constitution being abrogated. Further, owing to the critical review of available literature, the paper will seek to present how it cast the relationship between Trump and Modi which benefited Modi in making such a smooth move in occupied Kashmir. This research concentrates on what are Modi's motives and strategies behind revoking the Indian Constitution Articles 370 and 35 (A) that motivate Modi to take these steps on Kashmir now.
