India will hold provincial elections in the Himalayan territory of Jammu and Kashmir from Sept. 18, the Election Commission said on Friday, the first regional polls there in a decade and five years after New Delhi scrapped the region's special autonomy. India's only Muslim-majority region, Jammu and Kashmir has been at the heart of more than 75 years of animosity with neighbouring Pakistan since the birth of the two nations in 1947 at independence from colonial rule by Britain. The larger Kashmir region is divided between India, Pakistan and China.

India is set to conduct provincial elections in Jammu and Kashmir after a decade, following the revocation of its special autonomy. This move is crucial in a region that has long been a point of tension between India and Pakistan since gaining independence in 1947. The larger Kashmir area is shared between India, Pakistan, and China. This development marks a significant political change in the conflict-ridden region.
