Reading "370: Undoing the Unjust, A New Future for J&K" felt like moving through a layered political thriller—except this one is drawn entirely from India's constitutional history. Authored by the BlueKraft Digital Foundation and published by Penguin Random House India, the 544-page account claims to be the "most definitive" telling of how Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government achieved what had long seemed politically impossible: the abrogation of Article 370.

From the outset, the book leaves little doubt about its stance. Article 370 is framed as an "unjust" provision—a historical anomaly that undermined equality. First introduced as a temporary measure in 1949, it effectively granted Jammu & Kashmir its own constitution, flag, and separate rules. The authors argue that this arrangement discriminated against women, the poor, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other marginalized communities in the state.
