Renowned Kashmiri Journalist and Poet Ghulam Nabi Khayal Passes Away

Kashmir mourns the loss of an iconic journalist and poet, Ghulam Nabi Khayal, who has left a lasting legacy through his work.

A Literary Stalwart and Prolific Author

Ghulam Nabi Khayal, a towering figure in the realm of journalism, poetry, and essay writing, has left an indelible mark with over 30 books to his name. His contributions enriched the literary landscape of Kashmir and India.

A Voice for Justice and Minority Rights

In 2015, Khayal made a powerful statement by returning his Sahitya Academy award, which he had received in 1975. This act of protest was a stand against the mistreatment of minorities in India. His book “Gashik Minaar” (Luminaries) had earned him this prestigious accolade.

Remembering His Iconic Poetry

Ghulam Nabi Khayal shot to prominence with his poignant poem, “Yeh Chuh Choun Watan, Yeh Chuh Meoun Watan,” which he recited during a function in Srinagar. This masterpiece of Kashmiri literature touched hearts and souls.

A Life Well Lived, a Legacy Preserved

Khayal’s passing has left a void in the literary and journalistic community of Kashmir and India. His legacy, however, will continue to inspire and uplift generations to come.
