Question

what do you mean by special provision of indian constitution? explain with examples.

Answer 1

Special provisions in the Indian constitution mean certain special privileges granted to a few states like Jammu and Kashmir, Nagaland, Assam, Sikkim, Mizoram, Goa and Arunachal Pradesh due to the history and local circumstances of these states.

The most important special provision is with regard to Jammu and Kashmir. Under Article 370 of the constitution, Jammu and Kashmir is the only state in India with its own constitution. Parliament cannot make laws with regards to J & K on subjects stated in state list. Only citizens of J & K can take part in elections to state assembly.
