Shri Dinanath Raina is a political analyst and author of Unhappy Kashmir. He was born and educated in Kashmir. After Pakistani invasion of Kashmir in October, 1947, he worked for the cause of peace, harmony and economic emancipation for the rural population in the Kashmir Valley. He worked as a correspondent for a local newspaper in Srinagar. While his writings earned him applause from the common people, the political and bureaucratic vested interests felt uneasy due to exposure of their high-handedness and corruption. Unable to fix him for any specific charges but unwilling to allow him to function as a straight forward journalist, the ruling elite detained him as a political detenue in Central Jail, Srinagar for about six months. Later, he joined the national daily Indian News Chronicle, Delhi.
Shri Raina also worked in the Central Office of the Kisan Mazdoor Praja party, a new party formed by the veterans of the freedom struggle, Acharya Kripalani, T.Prakasam, P.C.Ghosh, K.Kellapan and others. He also worked in the Government, and is associated with many organisations in J&K.
