Kashmir needs independent journalism …
… Now, more than ever, give the voiceless a voice. The press in Kashmir has worked under immense coverage pressures from a war zone but we have been in unchartered territories since August 2019. The Kashmir Walla is one of Kashmir’s oldest independent media outlets, and has defied successive lockdowns as well as attempts to suppress us, fighting back with fact-based, authoritative ground reports.
