Dear Readers,
Welcome to the second edition of the year. Our cover story is on engaging with the global Indian expat population as part of Australia and Victoria’s India engagement strategies. Former ministerial adviser Nitin Gupta, who currently runs multiple businesses in Atlanta, shares his views on the big opportunities that Australia can derive out of the global Indian expat population. Given the growth of the Indian diaspora and Australia’s emphasis on diversity, we feel it is important for readers to know this is an issue that is worth exploring.
Also in this issue, we profile two young talents—Pritish A R’s who has just created a Guinness World Record for the title “Most drum beats in a minute using drumsticks” by playing 2,370 beats in a minute and Soumya Singh Deora, who at just eight years of age is the creator of Pet Care: the app connecting pet owners and animal lovers.
And from our Community Insider section, we bring to you different perspectives on how Indians in Australia negotiate their identity—a January 26 Australia Day special, also a topic that will resonate with most of you.
As we move into 2022, we thank you for reading The Indian Sun and hope to deliver the best possible content. Do follow us on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram.

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.
