Prem Nath Bazaz (13 July 1905 – 1984) was a Kashmiri politician, scholar, and author born in Budgam.
In the preface of his book, History of Struggle for Freedom in Kashmir, he wrote: "It is the voice of one who believes that the future of Kashmir, owing to its past traditions and culture, is inextricably linked with both her neighbours.
But Kashmir belongs to Kashmiris and neither the Maharaja had, or any outsider has, however powerful he may be, any right to dictate about its future.
"[1] Prem Nath famously said "The Dogras have always considered Jammu as their home and Kashmir as the conquered country…They established a sort of Dogra imperialism in the State in which all non-Dogra communities and classes were given the humble place of inferiors…Dogra imperialism brought nothing but misery, thraldom, physical and mental deterioration in its wake…"[2] Bazaz was born on 13 July, 1905 in Budgam into a Kashmiri Pandit family.
