Who is Aziz Kashmiri?

Abdul Aziz Kashmiri is a Kashmiri Ahmaddiya journalist.

He joined tha Ahmadiyya movement at the age of 13. After work as a secular journalist he founded the Urdu-language Ahmadiyya weekly, Roshni, in Srinagar, Kashmir in 1943, which became a daily newspaper in 1977. He travelled with Khwaja Nazir Ahmad of Lahore in Kashmir collecting evidence in support of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's teaching that the Roza Bal in Srinagar was the grave of Jesus. Nazir Ahmad had left Kashmir in 1947 to return to Lahore ahead of Partition, leaving Aziz Kashmiri as a major advocate of Ahmadiyya beliefs about Jesus in Srinagar.

Kashmiri was also the author of Hazrat Isa aur Isayyat, translated into English as Christ in Kashmir, which expanded and updated the arguments of Mirza Ahmad and Nazir Ahmad.
