Established in 2012, the Melbourne Bhangra Regiment (MBR) aspires to showcase the widespread and colourful culture of Punjab in not just Melbourne itself, but Australia. Starting from two boys performing at weddings and birthday parties to growing into a mixed team of 30 young individuals, the Regiment delivers high energy bhangra performances. The group made their first competitive appearance last year at the second edition of Bhangra Down Under in which our team placed third.
Whether dances, skits, or fashion shows, MBR is all about energy and style. Watch them at their best at the India Day Fest this August.
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.
