Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
The Indian Sun Team

India reptile park struggles to survive amid CovidClose Founded in 1972 in India’s Chennai city, the Guindy Snake Park is home to some of the most unique reptiles in India.
From cobras to iguanas, and thousands of crocodiles and alligators, it has been a favourite spot of animal lovers for years. But with Covid lockdowns choking the flow of visitors, the authorities are struggling for funds. And the future of these animals now hangs in the balance.
The park had to be shuttered twice recently as the pandemic ravaged Indian cities. With sale of tickets making up half the revenue, authorities say they don’t have enough money to even feed the reptiles or pay the staff.
