A Kenyan of South Asian descent, Lone's great-grandfather was the first family member to migrate to East Africa. Lone is of Kashmiri background and was born in Jhelum in 1943, in what is now the Pakistani province of Punjab.〔( `We're all Kenyans here' ), By Shashi Tharoor, The Hindu, November 07, 2004.〕 Lone attended Duke of Gloucester (Now Jamhuri High) School in Nairobi and then Kenyon College in the United States during the 1960s.〔See: Portrait of Salim Lone, ''Kenya's Political Gadfly''. January 12, 2007〕 Returning to Kenya he began his career in publishing and journalism in the 1970s, but quickly came under pressure for articles critical of first Jomo Kenyatta's, and (after 1978), Daniel arap Moi's governments. Lone was founding editor of ''Viva'', a women's magazine in Kenya. When his editorials ran afoul of the Moi government, he was jailed, stripped of his Kenyan citizenship, and exiled to the United States in 1982. He moved to New York City〔( Why Has Salim Lone Fled From Kenya? ) Famous Veteran Kenyan Journalist, ODM Communications Chief And Former United Nations Media Director Tells Friends That He Feared For His Life.

January 12, 2007〕 Lone came to Nairobi but was again arrested by the Kenyan government stripped of his citizenship and charged with "acts or words which show disloyalty or disaffection to Kenya." 〔(AROUND THE WORLD; U.N. Official Stripped Of Kenyan Citizenship ), The New York Times, September 10, 1986〕 Public and United Nations' pressure caused the Kenyan government to drop these charges.
