Muhammad Din Fauq (February 1877- 14 September 1945) was a historian of Kashmir. He is the pioneer of journalism in Jammu and Kashmir.[1] [2] To espouse the cause of the Kashmiris as well as to extend solidarity, various organizations were formed before Partition of India and Pakistan. Prominent among them were the All India Muslim Kashmiri Conference and the All India Kashmir Committee. The All India Muslim Kashmiri Conference was formulated at Lahore in 1908 and Allama Iqbal and Muhammad Din Fauq were its prominent leaders.[3]
