Abstract
Numerous newspapers emerged in Jammu and
Kashmir after the 1930s, and their significance, commendable nature, and
lasting impact cannot be overstated. During that period, running a newspaper
was considered an honor rather than a lucrative profession, and those involved
often led a financially precarious existence. One such influential publication
was the Khalid, a popular, secular, nationalist, and socio-cultural
newspaper in Urdu. It played a courageous role in the Kashmir freedom movement
and was founded by Khawaja Sadr-u-din Mujahid, a powerful and impactful writer.
The pen, symbolizing a potent force transcending the might of the sword,
manifested its influence through the dynamic and fearless editorials featured
in Khalid. The newspaper’s message resonated widely, awakening the
masses in their own language and significantly contributing to the political
mobilization of society, a crucial aspect that this paper aims to highlight.
