First there was panic about possible cross border terror attacks, then the Amarnath Yatra was suspended, then troops were moved in, and then internet was shut down, and then political leaders put under house arrest without so much as even a reason.

And if all this while you’ve been worrying sick about what is happening in Kashmir, Home Minister Amit Shah's big revelation and the parliamentary proceedings on the 5 August 2019, explained all of it.

India's history was rewritten as Article 370 that gives special status to Kashmir and by extension Article 35A was abrogated, repealed, scrapped! Not only that, a Bill was moved to bifurcate the state into two union territories – Jammu Kashmir as one and Ladakh as the other.

After the decision was made to scrap Article 370, there are lots of questions on everyone's mind. We touch upon all of these in our special two-part Big Story, where in the first part, we look at where Kashmir stands after this announcement? Are there ways to challenge the order? how are people reacting? And what's happening in Kashmir right now? And in part 2, we'll talk about what happens after the state is split in two. Tune in!
