Zafar Choudhary (Urdu: ظفر چودھری) is an Indian journalist, author, policy analyst, and practitioner of peace-building.

[1][2] He is the founding editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, an Indian online news, opinion, and analysis portal centered in Jammu & Kashmir.

[10] He has collaborated closely with government officials, political and civil society actors on both sides of the Line of Control to establish institutes such as the Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Consortium of Vice-Chancellors, which draw members from both sides of the India-Pakistan divide in Kashmir.

[19] The Friday Times of Lahore said "Zafar's book in itself is the first of its kind, as successive historians only made passing references to the Jammu massacre.

[20] In an article titled "Of the 'Other' and 'Outsider', India's leading English daily The Hindu said, "Choudhary's is an important work which will, I hope, help in addressing the impressions of Muslims of Jammu division that they are taken for granted, that the government of India, and the world, seeking to bring to final resolution the conflicts that have plagued the state of J&K over the last century, seek primarily to determine simply the views of different sections of the community residents in Kashmir.
