Community congratulates Indian Link

Well done!

Congratulations for receiving the Premier's Multicultural Media Awards. It was pleasing to see the faces of the award winners on the front cover of the Indian Link February (2) 2014 issue.

When I walk into any Indian shop I look around for your paper and have been its reader for the I ast few years.

Your paper maintains a high standard of writing and informs us about news in the Indian community in Australia and publishes articles on Indian culture, cultural events, spirituality and entertainment. The manner in which the Indian Link presents itself with quality paper and colour photos, invites us to read the issues. It is apparent that hard work has gone behind all of these.

Mr Pawan Luthra's editorials, which I enjoy reading, are well written and deal with contempor ary issues fort hrightly and where appropriat e, diplomatically They remind me somewhat of Arun Poorie's editorials

Other writers write equally well. I, as a person who likes to know about Indian English works, find t hat reviews of selected Indian English writ ings are missing, of late, from the paper TVallal

Congratulations on winning

3 awards!

Pawan Luthra: My heartiest congratulations to you and your team at Indian Link, for winning three Multicultural Media Awards.

It is indeed commendable that Indian Link won the awards for the Best Prin t Report of the Year, Best Use of Online & Digital Media and Young Journalist of the Year: Ri t am Mitra

As t he publisher, I am sure it must be very gratifying to provide leadership to Indian Unk, which is now the most awarded multicultural media group in Australia assisted by a very able team including Edit or Rajni Anand Luthra and Preeti Jabbal (Melbourne).

It is indeed deserving recognition of the high quality, frank and free community journalism work t h at has been the hal Imark of Indian Link over many years in promot ing diversity, community harmony and crosscultural tolerance among the com munities of t he Indian subconti nent, communities from other countries and the broader Australian community.

Keep up the wonderful wor k!
