Thank god i m rich enough to buy a good property in Kashmir. I always thought that my father's money is worthless since we can't take the property at our dream destination. But no more regrets now.

Now we can buy land and property in Kashmir. I can buy a house, set up an industry, open an office. In all logic this is the GREATEST economic boost to Kashmir.

Let's hope their handling of Kashmir is better than their handling of the economy and that I can buy property in Kashmir one day soon as an Indian citizen like anywhere else in the country.

Article 370 of the Constitution that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir was scrapped on Monday, along with Article 35 (A), as Rajya Sabha passed a momentous bill that bifurcates the state into two Union Territories.
Article 35A disallowed people outside from the state from buying or owning immovable property in Jammu and Kashmir, settle permanently or availing state-sponsored scholarship schemes.
It also denied property rights to a woman who married a person from outside the state.
To guarantee the special rights and privileges, the Article 35A said no act of the state legislature that came under it could be challenged for violating the Constitution or any other laws.
