Kashmir Observer is one of the first English language daily newspapers published in Srinagar in Indian controlled Kashmir.
The daily began its publication in March 1997 when local population, caught up in a bloody conflict and hungry for news, was dependent on newspapers coming from New Delhi.
Observer is among the very few newspapers believed to have retained credibility despite heavy odds facing media in conflict ridden Kashmir.
Kashmir Observer Online is the global face of the daily Kashmir Observer on the internet. Kashmir Observer Online is a major source of news and information for vast Kashmiri diaspora, intending tourists, business leaders, diplomats, journalists and those interested in India-Pakistan affairs.[1]
Sajjad Haider is the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Kashmir Observer.
