Our Story

About Kashmeeriyat

A nonprofit voice for the people of Kashmir — on both sides of the Line of Control.

Who We Are

Born from a Need the World Ignored

Kashmeeriyat was founded with one belief: that the people of Kashmir deserve a fair, fearless, and independent voice. Not a political voice. Not a government voice. A human voice.

We cover the struggles of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan — communities that have been economically neglected and denied constitutional rights. We also document the reality in Indian-Occupied Kashmir, where press freedom has been suppressed and human rights violations continue.

We are not affiliated with any government, political party, or armed group. We believe in peaceful advocacy, truth-based journalism, and the universal right of every human being to be heard.

"We do not carry weapons. We carry words, evidence, and the stories of a people who deserve to be heard."
