This is manifested in various ways including those of "property rights" rules applicable to immovable property, etc whereby "non-state subjects" cannot acquire immovable property or otherwise become state subjects (except in certain very limited circumstances). The "gap" that is present currently in the laws there relate to the fact that "non-Indian" "state subjects" of Kashmir cannot legally access J&K unless the Indian External Affairs ministry grants a non-Indian "Kashmiri state subject" a visa and/or the Home Ministry approves certain items to enable a non-Indian "Kashmiri state subject" access to enter India.
