The Essence of a Name

Unity in Diversity

Our world is a vibrant mosaic of individuals, cultures, and races. Geographic barriers no longer hinder people from relocating for work or education. However, there’s an innate yearning to connect with others who share similar ethnic roots.

A desire exists to stay updated on news from one’s homeland and to familiarize oneself with local community events.

hi INDiA was established to address these needs of the Indian diaspora. It aims to unite the South Asian community by providing news that instantly engages them with relevant, community-focused information.

Each week, hi INDiA offers its readers a diverse array of content, spanning human interest stories, local news, politics, sports, fashion, and Indian film news. With a team of journalists, photographers, and contributors in both India and the U.S., hi INDiA is the go-to news source for South Asians living abroad. Today, hi INDiA is regarded as an essential part of their lives.
