As a young boy growing up in New Delhi, Kanwar watched a live telecast of a cricket game between Australia and India at the MCG in Australia. Without a doubt in his mind, he simply knew his destiny was to be a part of the Australian community and also maybe a part of the Australian cricket team.
Kanwar Singh was energetic as a child, graduating with B.Com Hons from Delhi University and rising to be the university’s star cricketer. Kanwar has continued to pursue his destiny by being the first Indian to be a life member at Springvale cricket club and an involved member of the Dingley community.
Living a dream. Now as a 45-year-old director of a thriving accounting business and the youngest ever Indian Australian director of Bendigo Bank, Dingley and a Fellow member of CPA, as well as a respected member of the Dingley community and its cricket clubs (Dingley C.C and Springvale C.C), he has fulfilled his childhood dream.
Kanwar loves his work, his community and his cricket. He also loves spending countless hours with his family (playing and watching cricket) and teaching his two golden Labradors how to play his favorite game.
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.
