About US

Now in its 16th year, Bharat Times was founded in 1997 to coincide with Golden Jubilee celebrations of India’s Independence,  giving the Indian Australian population a genuine platform to express their  views and thereby making their contribution to the mainstream Australian  society. Since then, BT has been serving the needs of all Indians and Indian  Australians who have chosen to adopt Australia as their home or place of short (temporary) stay, voicing their concerns to echo in respective State and Federal Parliaments.

BT has a team of committed writers and journalists who have been  tirelessly  contributing for more than a decade to provide that platform and a  publication which is food for thought.

BT stories have been used as source of information by  various mainstream media channels such as Channel Seven (one of three commercial television stations in Australia), AAP (Australian Associated Press), The Age (A Melbourne Daily since 1854), Herald Sun (A Melbourne  Daily of News Corporation and Australia's biggest selling daily newspaper)  and many others. For the last ten plus years, BT has covered a vital mix of  local, national and international issues important to and close to the heart of Indians and Australians every month.

BT’s commitment of maintaining a serious focus on “service”  makes it a real monthly and ‘not just substance between advertisements as a journalist from the mainstream print media very aptly  described.

Today, BT prides itself of being the FIRST Australian Indian publication Down Under complete with its body, soul and mind - providing a voice and direction which is uniquely significant to the Australian Indian community’s exigent requirements.
