Kashmir Rechords is an independent digital archive chronicling the history, culture and socio-political journey of Jammu & Kashmir, with a focus on original research, rare records and forgotten legacies.
What adds to the weight of these photographs is their provenance.
They were originally carried by the most widely read and trusted local newspaper of the time—a paper regarded as the voice of the people, read passionately by common Kashmiris and the intelligentsia alike. The photographer and reporter behind these images were darlings of Kashmiri society, not outsiders, not propagandists.
This was Kashmir documenting itself.
