Kashmir Rechords

Hidden in an old newspaper archive lies one of Kargil’s most unusual forgotten stories. Recounted by former Circle Inspector D P Sharma and published in Daily Excelsior in 2000, the account revisits a disturbing investigation from 1964 that stayed with the officer for decades. Preserved by Kashmir Rechords, the story opens a rare window into policing, memory and the mysteries that once travelled silently through the mountains of Kargil.

While All India Radio celebrates “90 years of broadcasting,” the institution’s forgotten martyrs remain absent from official memory. From M. L. Manchanda’s brutal killing during Punjab militancy to the assassination of Lassa Kaul in Kashmir, this article revisits the sacrifices made by broadcasters who kept India’s airwaves alive during some of the nation’s darkest decades.
