Donate To The Indian Sun
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun

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.
