On August 5th, the Indian government ordered a curfew on the state of Jammu and Kashmir Autonomous.

The action came at the same time that the Indian government put an end to Indian Kashmir's autonomous status.

Reacting to the decision, neighboring Pakistan expelled the Indian High commissioner and downgraded its diplomatic ties with New Delhi.

What, in this example?

Autonomous is a country or area with rights and powers to govern itself.

If something or someone is autonomous, they are independent and self ruling.

Now you know what autonomous means.
