Sushi Das

Sushi Das is an award-winning journalist and author who holds the position of opinion editor at The Age newspaper. During her 18 years with The Age she has held a variety of roles including columnist, feature writer and news editor. She broke numerous stories about the plight of international students and bogus colleges in Melbourne — an achievement that has been acknowledged by the Indian government.

Her recent book Deranged Marriage (Random House) is a bitter-sweet memoir about growing up in London and avoiding an arranged marriage. It is currently being considered as a literary text for the school curriculum. She is a commentator on radio and TV, and has had many public speaking engagements.

Das was born in India and migrated to Britain with her parents when she was a few months old. Educated and raised in London, she holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Social Sciences. After moving to Australia in 1991 she began her career as a news reporter at Australian Associated Press. Her work has been recognised with two Melbourne Press Club Quill Awards, including Best Columnist (2006). She lives in Melbourne and has a seven-year-old daughter.

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
