As Diwali, the Festival of Lights, brings joy and celebration to communities across Victoria, Steve McGhie MP, the State Member for Melton, has extended warm greetings to the Indian community. Recognising Diwali’s themes of light, resilience, and togetherness, McGhie’s message celebrates the festival’s significance within the local community.
“Wishing you and your family a happy and joyous Diwali,” McGhie shared, acknowledging the rich cultural traditions that Diwali brings to Melton. He expressed appreciation for the Indian community’s contributions to local life, whether through cultural events, community initiatives, or the small businesses that are integral to Melton’s social fabric.
Diwali, celebrated with the lighting of diyas, festive gatherings, and the exchange of sweets, symbolises the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair. McGhie’s message reflects the importance of community and inclusivity, values that are at the heart of Diwali and resonate deeply within Melton’s diverse population.
In recognising the contributions of the Indian community, McGhie’s Diwali message reaffirms his commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment in Melton.

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.

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,
