    Which of the following options was the special constitutional privilege given to Jammu and Kashmir?
    Solution
    Jammu and Kashmir was the only Indian state which had its own constitution. The constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, which was adopted on 17th November, 1956 ,and came into effect on 26th January, 1957, was a legal document which established the framework of government at state level (in the state of Jammu and Kashmir).

    Solution
    Before the Independence from the Britishers, in the year 1929, during the Lahore session in December, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru was elected as the President and Congress finally voted for Purna Swaraj (complete independence) and it was proposed that the last Sunday of January 1930 would be celebrated as Independence Day which incidentally fell on 26th.

    This was the reason that even though the Constitution had passed on November 26, 1949, it came into force from January 26, 1950, and replaced the 1935 Government of India Act.
    Then, after the Independence day (August 15,1947), our constitutional assembly had been already formed in 1946 and the Constitution was ready by November 26, 1949 after a period of 2 years 11 months and 18 days. But in honour of our Purna Swaraj (already celebrated on January 26, 1930), our leaders decided to wait for 2 more months and enforced it on January 26, 1950.
