Independent record label and entertainment media organisation Afghan Smart was established in 2009 by Obaid Bunyad in the UK. In 2014 Obaid partnered with Mohammad Tamim Tanin, expanding the label’s presence to Afghanistan.
Obaid believes in promoting new Afghan talent, and taking their music across the world. Today the music label has ventured into not only acquiring soundtracks but music videos as well.
Afghan Smart is also associated with producing music recordings and music videos.
With the official YouTube channel at over 33 million views, the label is seen as the fastest growing record label of Afghanistan. Afghan Smart does not exclude any rights in respect of services under the UK Consumer Law. Therefore clients are given awareness of their rights and claims of their work being marketed.
Afghan Smart has media partners in Afghanistan, which include Afrang Media, AVA Elite and 1TV Kabul.
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.
