Article 370: The article of the Indian constitution recognizing the special status of Jammu and Kashmir state came into effect in 1953 as an implementing article of the UN resolution calling for India's accession to the Independence of Pakistan and also as a goodwill gesture from India to its close neighbor in 1947.
The article gave special state autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir, provided for its de facto independence from New Delhi and conferred upon it the power to make its own laws exclusively.
Article 370 was a provision in the constitution that allowed it to be removed. The article was removed in the year 2002 leaving Indian politics without a special status and effectively central control over most of its affairs.
For example, as an autonomous state, Jammu & Kashmir could enter into agreements with other states but not each other, this means that all other Indian states are independent from Jammu & Kashmir's laws or government.
Article 370 was a provision in India that allowed limited autonomy in Jammu and Kashmir region under Article 370. But now it is being removed since the situation in India has become normal and this article has no significance any more.
Article 370 was a special constitutional provision for Jammu and Kashmir. This article took away the powers of the union government to pass laws on citizens who wanted to enter the State of Jammu and Kashmir.

It was removed by the government in January 2019 in light of political tensions.
Article 370 of Indian Constitution was introduced to give special rights and privileges to Jammu and Kashmir with a view to preserve its autonomy.
It gave Jammu and Kashmir separate status after partition of India. Fulfilling promises made during the last general elections, Congress party led by Rahul Gandhi proposed to end it by passing an order in the Parliament.
Article 370 is the answer for the 'Pashu Banan' or 'Pashu Mandi' (Potato Market).
