Fahad Shah was a student in 2009 when he launched Kashmir Walla, a modest blog that would grow into a vital voice in the fraught landscape of Jammu & Kashmir. Over the years, Shah’s work came to embody a passionate dedication to journalism-until 2022, when he was arrested under India’s stringent anti-terror laws, accused of 'propagating terror.'
