This paper will attempt a political analysis of Armed force Special Power Act (AFSPA) in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. More importantly this paper through a shaft of light to the undemocratic side of the law, by discussing the ground zero reality of this act on the basis of various committee reports and by highlighting few major human rights violation cases, thus an attempt is made to reframe the debate that it is not adequate to make alternation in the Armed Force Special Power Act but its annulment is the only way ahead.

Key words: AFSPA, Human Rights Violation, Jammu and Kashmir, Democracy, Law.
