The autonomy of Kashmir refers to the special status and self-governing powers granted to the region under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which allowed for a degree of independence in governance and laws. This status was intended to acknowledge the unique circumstances of Kashmir's accession to India in 1947. However, in August 2019, the Indian government revoked this special status, leading to significant political and social changes in the region and ongoing debates about its implications for Kashmiri identity and governance. The issue of autonomy remains a contentious topic in the broader context of India-Pakistan relations and local aspirations for self-determination.

Article 317 of the Indian Constitution relates to the appointment of a state Public Service Commission for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It empowers the President of India to make provisions for the composition, appointment, and conditions of service of the members of the Commission. This article is part of the broader framework governing the administrative structure of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly following its reorganization in 2019. It does not specifically address broader issues related to the status or autonomy of Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir is no longer an Indian state in the traditional sense; it was reorganized in October 2019 into two Union Territories: Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. This change means that while these regions are still under Indian governance, they do not have the same level of autonomy that a state would have. The reorganization was a significant political move by the Indian government, aimed at integrating the region more closely with the rest of the country.
The Kashmir dispute was all about the control of Kashmir region by the Government of India, the Government of Pakistan and Kashmir Insurgent Group.
