About Us
Bharat Times is an intercultural newspaper (Bharat
is Hindi name for India when it was inclusive of all south-Asia including
Afghanistan, a couple of centuries ago). The philosophy and essence
of Bharat Times is non-violence; respect of individuality and differences;
tolerance leading to acceptance and grass-root spirituality –
all in all Unity in Diversity.
Born out of the Indian community of Montreal, it aims to grasp, represent
and cover the diverse cultural richness of Montreal metropolis by incorporating
diverse cultural contributions to its columns.
Being 'For People By People’, implies that Bharat Times is published
for the greater benefit of people; and people of all walks of life write
and contribute to it.
It thrives for everyone's support and now it exists and prospers to
assist in the diffusion of cultural richness, arts and information throughout
our communities. Bharat Times has spent considerable time within the
communities, highlighting, with words and photos, the concepts and images
of different cultures.
It is distributed all over Greater Montreal regions like Parc Extension,
West Island, Brossard, Longueil, Cote-des-Neiges, Downtown, Montreal
West, Ville St. Laurent, Lasalle and so on. The distribution points
among others include grocery Stores, restaurants, temples, gurudwaras,

In addition, Bharat Times has organized, affiliated and participated
in various cultural endeavours in order to bring the multicultural mosaic
together to promote inter-cultural exchanges in order to combat exclusion
and innate prejudices.
