Dear Readers,

On this special occasion, Awaz-The Voice extends warm greetings and wishes you a very Happy Independence Day! Today, we have two reasons to celebrate — first, the pride and glory of our great civilization, and second, the launch of our Bengali edition.

It is your overwhelming appreciation and response to our content across six languages that has enabled your news platform to grow at a remarkable pace. Building on this success, we are delighted to introduce Bengali as our seventh edition since beginning our journey in January 2021.

In just four short years, we have been humbled by the love and trust of our readers across the globe. Our readership in English, Hindi, Urdu, Marathi, Assamese, and Arabic continues to grow rapidly, and we are now crossing over one crore views every month. This milestone has only been possible because of your constant engagement and encouragement.

Over the past year, we have received numerous requests from our Bengali readers urging us to create an edition in their language. We took this responsibility seriously — assembling a talented Bengali editorial team and developing a dedicated vertical, which is now fully operational. From today, our Bengali-speaking audience will be able to enjoy our website and audio-visual content in their language.

Bengal is a land of immense cultural heritage, enriched by the timeless legacy of visionaries such as Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam. Despite enduring a complex and sometimes turbulent history, the region has always embraced a spirit of inclusiveness, harmony, and respect for all communities and faiths. We see this as a wonderful opportunity to share Bengal’s unique and inspiring stories with the world — including our friends in Bangladesh.

Our guiding principle has always been “Journalism of Inclusiveness.” Every team at Awaz-The Voice remains deeply committed to this ideal, ensuring that our content reflects diversity, harmony, and meaningful storytelling. In today’s noisy digital landscape, we take pride in having carved a distinctive space as a credible, engaging, and respected news platform.
