Khalid Bashir Ahmad

Ahmad worked in civil service, holding positions within the Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services. His roles included serving as Director of Information and Public Relations as well as being The Secretary of the Jammu & Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture, and Languages.^{[citation needed]}

As a writer, Ahmad has authored works on the history and politics of Kashmir. His book Kashmir: Exposing the Myth Behind the Narrative (2017) examines historical claims about the region, particularly those made by Kashmiri Pandits organizations regarding forced migration and persecution.^[5][2] Chitralekha Zutshi, a scholar and historian of Kashmir, cautions that the work is ahistorical and polemic, and calls it 'dangerous and tendentious.'^[2] She remarks that Ahmed has cherrypicked his sources—both secondary and primary—to further a specific agenda, and obscures them on occasion.^[2]

His other works include Jhelum: The River Through My Backyard, Kashmir: Looking Back in Time, and Kashmir: A Walk Through History, which focuses on aspects of the region's political and cultural heritage.
