Kuldip Nayar

(1923-2018)

A renowned journalist, syndicated columnist, diplomat, parliamentarian and

newspaper editor, Kuldip Nayar was born on 14th August 1923 at Sialkot in

undivided Punjab (now in Pakistan). Kuldip Nayar spent his early childhood and

youth in Pakistan. He graduated from Forman Christian College before pursuing law

in Lahore. For his first assignment as a scribe, he reported the assassination of

Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 for a Delhi-based Urdu newspaper, Anjaam. In 1952, he

joined the United States Information Services, and earned a degree in journalism

from the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University, Illinois in the same

year.

In a career that spanned over six decades, he was a champion of civil liberties and

human rights, an untiring advocate for peace between India and Pakistan, a

chronicler of the historic events of his time, an uncompromising editor, and an author

of several bestsellers. He was among India's first syndicated columnists and his

columns were read and appreciated across the border.

Kuldip Nayar headed many prominent national newspapers for more than two

decades. He was editor of United News of India (1964-1967), Statesman (1967-1975)

and Express News Service (1975-1981). He was also a regular columnist to the

Deccan Herald, Daily Star, Sunday Guardian, Statesman, Express Tribune,

(Pakistan) and Dawn (Pakistan), etc.

He served as Government Information Officer to Govind Ballabh Pant and Lal

Bahadur Shastri. He was arrested during the Emergency (1975-77) for voicing his

dissent at the suppression of press. Kuldip Nayar served as the High Commissioner

of India to the United Kingdom (March 1990-November 1990), was a member of

India's delegation to the United Nations in 1996, and nominated member of the

Rajya Sabha (1997-2002).

His stature earned him recognition in the form of numerous honours and awards,

such as Astor Award for Press Freedom (2003), Shaheed Neoga Memorial Award

(2007) and the Ramnath Goenka Lifetime Achievement Award (2015), and Padma

Bhushan (2019 posthumous) for his contributions to journalism.

A prolific writer and staunch supporter of human rights and civil liberties, Kuldip

Nayar authored many books on national and international affairs. His publications

include: Beyond the Lines: An Autobiography, Distant Neighbours: A Tale of the

Subcontinent, India after Nehru, Wall at Wagah, India-Pakistan Relationship, The

Judgment: Inside story of the Emergency in India, The Martyr: Bhagat Singh

Experiments in Revolution, India House and On Leaders and Icons from Jinnah to

Modi (released posthumously).

Kuldip Nayar passed away on 23 August 2018.
