Q1. India’s revocation of Article 370 special status for Jammu and Kashmir was done in which year prior to much of today’s Indo-Pak diplomatic friction?
Answer: August 2019
Explanation: On August 5, 2019, the Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi revoked Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which had granted special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir since 1949, and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories. Pakistan condemned the move as illegal and unilateral, downgrading diplomatic relations and expelling India's ambassador.
